Misc. Notes Newly engraved version of the first movement from the manuscript at the Bibliotheca Nazionale Palatina. Only existing version with the composer's original orchestration of the first movement in B-Minor. Inconsistencies have been carefully amended without further notice. I have arranged the solo bass voice in 3 versions; being the original pitch as written in the manuscript, the pitch an octave higher as it sounds in all recordings known, and as well a transposed pitch to A-minor, shall the bass be tuned to concert pitch (a whole-tone higher). The concert is to be played in B-Minor ("H-Moll") with this edition.

Misc. Notes This version is transcribed from the C minor manuscript score for a solo bassist in solo tuning (F♯-B-e-a). Some voicing changes were required in order to transpose to B minor. Otherwise, this version aims to be a more or less faithful copy of the markings from the C minor manuscript score.

Misc. Notes Urtext edition copied from the B minor manuscript score. This B minor part is for accompanying bass in solo tuning (F♯-B-e-a), the A minor part has been transposed for bass in orchestra tuning (E-A-d-g) and the C minor part has been transposed for bass in the less commonly used high solo tuning (G-C-f-b♭) but otherwise the parts are identical. The bass part printed above the piano line is copied from this same manuscript and includes revisions Bottesini made from earlier versions of the solo part. Also includes better page turns (really).
