Mussorgsky Pictures for cello ensemble

feeds@yuku.com (cellomaestro) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:46:51 GMT

One of my section players says he once heard the cellists of the Czech Philharmonic play an arrangement of this for cello ensemble and bass. Does anyone know if there is a copy of the sheet music floating around somewhere?

9 variations on a theme of JL Duport by Mozart. K 573

feeds@yuku.com (celletto) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 08:15:13 GMT

Really I don't normally think that historical figures knew each other. So while looking for Duport's essay I found this.:http://imslp.info/files/i...rt_9_Variations_K573.pdf

Jean-Louis Duport: Essay on the Fingering of the Violoncello and on the Conduct of the Bow

feeds@yuku.com (Popper) — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 13:58:21 GMT

I have looked at this forum on occasion but have not ever posted until now. I have a problem I hope you can help me with.

I am interested in reading the work (Duport) if for no other reason than historical interest. However, I have been unsuccessful in my search so far. The 21 etudes are readily available but it doesn't look like any editions come with the accompanying text. I have searched for it separately too but have had no luck. On Amazon, the only entries that came up...

Orchestral parts at IMSLP

feeds@yuku.com (schreechy) — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 19:28:23 GMT

I've gotten tons of sheet music from IMSLP but I haven't been keeping track of the goings-on over there lately. Their Orchestral Parts Project is coming along quite nicely. I didn't know about the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe page until recently either.

Merry Christmas !!!

I just received "The Portland Cello Project" CD as a surprise present. Wonderful arrangements, second only to the gorgeous, secure playing and the fine acoustics. I mean, *REALLY* , whether you've been bad or good doesn't make much difference in my book, but you owe this to yourself if you're interested enough to be reading this forum.

Kudos to Justin Kagan for attaching himself to such an artistically accomplished group. (It's either the coffee or...

The Dotzauer Challenge

For any who are interested ...

Inspired by The Etude Project: http://celloetudes.tumblr.com/ ... I've gone and started my own variation based on Dotzauer.

I'm memorizing one a week & then recording a video of it, as well as blogging about it (In my blog entries I grade myself based on a rubric I came up with and then I write out thoughts about the experience). I've done the first two etudes so...

Random cello videos

feeds@yuku.com (zambocello) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 20:20:39 GMT

Talking with someone about cellists here and there, I was lauding our own ICSer, BA, and cited the videos of BA's recital from last year. I had not yet watched BA's beautiful performance of the Chopin C# minor Nocturne. A related video was Nathaniel Rosen playing the same piece. Wanting another impression of Rosen's playing,...

This is a live performance of Rudolf Eschers sonata concertante, first movement, at the tv programme Vrije Geluiden. It is one of the pieces on a cd project I referred to in this thread.

Possible Wedding Programming

feeds@yuku.com (knoxcello) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 18:38:53 GMT

So a good friend (former college of music classemate) has asked me to perform three pieces at his wedding... I'm trying to think of appropriate repertoire. Some Bach is an obvious route to take (G major suite prelude and sarabande...). Perhaps Dvorak's 'Songs my mother taught me'? Does anyone have any other suggestions? Something less expected would be what I'm thinking of (though not too modern).

Thanks!

Books on famous instruments/makers

I remember seeing a few posts about books covering famous instruments and makers, but the search isn't turning much up. Any recommendations floating out there for good books?

D'Albert Cello Concerto?

Have any of you heard of this piece? My friend just showed me this recording of it on Youtube and I think it's really cool, but I had never really heard of it before. Has anyone played it or heard it performed in concert?

How should we interpret slur markings? I really want a good approach.

feeds@yuku.com (celletto) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 09:44:25 GMT

I ususlly think we should "pre hear" the phrase and then think about the bowings.
Here Sherry has a student who's sound is constrained by the slur markings and Here Fred Sherry says not to respect Schubert's slur markings.

please help! Do you know this cello maker?!

feeds@yuku.com (maestrahruby) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 20:51:37 GMT

I am trying to find information on a cello made by Karl Hofner in Germany. I can't find any info on this maker, and I am interested in buying a cello that has a label "Karl Hofner, Germany 2005".

Do you have any info?

Thanks,

Cello in Hanoi

feeds@yuku.com (ebenjen) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 16:20:42 GMT

I'm going to be in Viet Nam for a couple weeks -- mostly in Hanoi -- and am wondering about the likelihood of renting a cello there. I'm not in a position to travel with my cello.

I've had pretty rotten luck (as in none) trying to rent short term in the US so I'm not exactly getting my hopes up. Still, I hate to go so long without practicing.
