This publication is a facsimile re-print of Giovanni Bottesini's Original Contre-basse method. This is the rarely found english translation that was translated in the 1800's by John F Clayton. It contains all of Bottesini's text and explanations including all his original fingerings, together with his bowings, something that has been lost in later republications, giving us a greater insight into how this genius performed.
