Bach and Vivaldi on Violone, an Extinct Instrument | Campanero · MarchVivo

Tracing the origins of the violone, the direct ancestor of the double bass, is not an easy task. Because of its tessitura, it was probably used as part of the basso continuo together with the harpsichord. This fact, together with its confusing nomenclature, has given rise to a void in the specific work for this instrument. However, its register and flexibility allow it to cover from the ground to the baroque concerto.
