Biography
Potentially, the later part of this section can be divided between his compositions and his career as a bassist. In the section about his legacy as a bassist, I think it would be important to include something about his method (BOSCH, L. (2021). Giovanni Bottesini Complete Method for the Double Bass/Bottesini String Quartet op. 2. Strad, 132(1573), 94.). Anything like the characteristics of his playing or anything.

In the composition portion, you could mention the way opera and Italian folk songs worked their way into his writing ("Evaluation of the stylistic path of authors of concertos composed for double bass and orchestra in XVIII-XX centuries").

"Bottesini was a freemason, initiated 20 June 1849, in the Bank of England Lodge No. 263, London." might need a source linked to it. Same with the section about the setup of the instrument and the people who have owned it. In that same section about the setup, maybe clarify more about the French bow grip. Without getting too terribly bogged down in details, maybe add something about the Dragonetti bow to give more context.
