sentences:  In orchestral works from the classical era, the bass and cello would typically play from the same part, labelled "Bassi".Given the pitch range of the instruments, this means that if a double bassist and a cellist read the same part, the double bass player would be doubling the cello part an octave lower.While passages for cellos alone (marked ""senza bassi"") are common in Mozart and Haydn, independent parts for both instruments become frequent in Beethoven and Rossini and common in later works of Verdi and Wagner.
