Even less is known about the second concerto for double bass and orchestra by Th. A. Findeisen than about the first. It is dedicated to Kurt Barth, who was Kapellmeister in Zwickau. The piano part is marked "in one movement". However, it can also be seen as a multi-movement work whose various movements merge into one another. The piece begins with a majestic Allegro with the addition "fresh and rhapsodic". This leads into an Andante molto in which the solo double bass can show off its vocal qualities. This is followed by an Allegro leggiero, which returns to the majestic opening theme, finally moving into a virtuosic Molto Allegro quasi Presto. This part seems like a stretta final movement, at the end of which the majestic opening theme is taken up again brilliantly.
Only the piano version of this concerto is available, which is also available from PRObass Musikverlag (see there). Daniel Chiva Sanz, a young double bass player and composer from Spain who lives in America and publishes his works with PRObass Musikverlag, has presented an orchestration that accommodates the romantic-impressionistic character of this music. The orchestra consists of a small string ensemble (Vle 1 + 2, Vla, Vcl, Kb) plus one flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet and trombone each.
