This paper provides a formal analysis of Giovanni Bottesini’s most important operatic paraphrases for double bass and piano within a larger context and explore their connection with the original operas. The absence of this connection is one of the main problems found when
performing these works. Starting with a brief exploration of the plot of the operas, the analysis here presented traces in detail the melodic transformations that Bottesini implemented in each of his operatic renditions. As conclusion, it offers a set of suggestions that may help
the performer to strengthen the connections between the instrumental virtuoso repertoire and the emotional potential of the operatic realm.

Este trabajo proporciona un análisis formal de las más importantes paráfrasis operísticas de Giovanni Bottesini para contrabajo y piano en un contexto amplio que explora su conexión con las óperas originales, cuya ausencia es uno de los principales problemas que se encuentran al interpretarlas. Comenzando con una breve exploración de la trama de las óperas, se procede con un detallado rastreo de las transformaciones melódicas que Bottesini implementa en sus paráfrasis. El conjunto de sugerencias que se ofrece como conclusión puede llevar a los contrabajistas a fortalecer las conexiones entre el repertorio virtuosístico instrumental y el potencial emocional propio de la ópera.
