Abstract
Franz Keyper (c. 1756 – 1815), a double bassist in the Danish court orchestra, composed seven concertos for double bass. This thesis presents a critical edition of Keyper’s Concerto No. 1 for double bass, based on the autograph manuscript held by the Royal Library, Copenhagen. An introduction explores the life and work of Keyper, and the use of the double bass as a solo instrument by composers working in Europe in the late-eighteenth century. A full critical commentary discusses the editorial methods used. The concerto itself was left in an incomplete state and as such three possible versions of the concerto have been provided: the earliest version is found in the main body of the edition; versions representing the middle and latest stages of revision can be found in the Appendices. As a result, this study makes a practical contribution to the contextualized concerto repertoire for the double bass and offers further insight into double bass playing in late-eighteenth century Europe.
