Forgotten Cello Music

86. Familiar Music in the Tenor Clef 12 31 25 This episode is definitely not about Forgotten Cello Music. It is about learning a clef that often gets left of in the course of learning. That is to say, teachers don't dwell on it, so it would seem. (Although it could just be my poor teaching.) I wanted to share what I have created so that if anyone is in need of a practical building up in approa...

These 10 pieces are expertly crafted and they are intended for students. Well worth your time and effort to look into. You can find many interesting arrangements and exercise books created by, me, Aaron. https://www.patreon.com/c/travelingcello/shop

84. Forgotten Cello Music: Bréval's Six Sonatas of Op. 40 Have you played from Suzuki Vol. 4? The first two pieces are two movements by Bréval, Sonata in C major, Op. 40 I. Allegro ; II. RONDO. Grazioso . Well, wouldn't you know, he wrote five more in that set (very common for the period to write in sets of six). They are all great examples of prime learning material.

82. Forgotten Cello Music: Goltermann and Three Lyrical Pieces, Op. 117 1. Sehnsucht (Longing) 2. Freud und Leid (Joy and Sorrow) 3. Abendlied (Evening Song) Explore these rather poignant three short pieces by the virtuoso cellist, teacher, and music director Georg Goltermann. They are somewhat deeper in character than other short works . Fun and stuff.

80. The Violoncello and Its History: Cello in the 19th Century, IV. ITALY On to the fourth section of a new century four violoncello playing. What does Italy have to offer? This is a short reading. That should give quite a hint. One famous cellist I'll mention: Alfredo Piatti Another is Guglielmo Quarenghi, already talked about at length when I did a study in his Counterpoint. Start here in Ep...

79. The Violoncello and Its History: Cello in the 18th C. III. France

78. France in the 19th Century: Auguste Franchomme and Felix Battanchon In this episode, featured are the two cellists from France, Franchomme and Battanchon. Although Franchomme is fairly well-known for a set of etudes there is a twist of what was accepted in studios and "good" material for learning. Besides that, the German cellist Romberg contributed to a modern notation marking for a...

77. 18th Century Cello in France: Cornelis Liegeois This episode features only one cellist/composer from Belgium/France in the 1800's. He had a storied career that saw him rub shoulders and collaborate with what we now consider some of the best Romantic composers the world has seen. Join me in support of this interesting work spreading information about Forgotten cello music by becoming a supp...

76. History of Cello-VC in the 18th C. II. Germany - J. Wasielewski “During the second half of the last century the art of violoncello playing had already very extensively spread throughout Germany and had many more noteworthy representatives than in Italy and France.” p73 “Germany called out more instrumental vigour in order to satisfy the need of good musicians for the numberless Courts. Accordi...

60. Cello in Germany in the 19th Century: Hugo Becker "Love Scenes" Op. 7 Here is yet another little gem of a piece. While it requires some attention to higher positions in places, the over all accessibility for the upper intermediate player is in your grasp. As you will hear in my own recording, the amount of practice I got in did not satisfy except to the level of moderately good. But...

59. W. FITZENHAGEN: 19th Century Cello in Germany I'd simply like to say; I like Fitzenhagen's compositions.  Not very convincing? Listen to this podcast. Still not really sure? Look over the scores. And you still need convincing? Play some of his music for yourself. Even though he may best be known as the cellist who not only gave the premiere performance of Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Roc...

Episode 58 is set squarely in Germany in the 1800's.  There was an explosion of capable cellists in that country in this period. They wrote an enormous body of music for the concert stage as well as for the aspiring student. Come along and explore some forgotten Etudes by the likes of Schröder, Lee, Werner, Kummer, Büchler, and Heberlein. Although there are many more names that could be inclu...

57. Overview: GERMANY in the 19th Century Wasielewski says in the introduction to "Germany in the 19th C." that this country produced a good many cellists whose names are still well-known to this day. The Cellist on whom the title, Father of the German school of Cello Playing, was bestowed is Bernhard Romberg. As he straddled the 18th and 19th centuries and had such influence on cello technique an...

It is the end of another year. It is nice to look back at what one has done and reflect for a moment before beginning again.  Listen in on: - Listener's top 3 episodes - My top 3 - The purpose of this project. - What is on the docket for 2023

55. Quarenghi: "Capriccio" for Cello and Piano I said I'd learn and play this piece for the podcast. Well, I learned the entire thing but it was challenging. It was fun. However, sometimes you are unable to make the fingers move properly due to inactivity as a performer. For that reason, you'll hear excerpts. If anybody else has ever heard or even played this number for yourself I would like to he...

Episode 54 is Part 4 and the final installment in my exploration into Counterpoint.  It started simply due to an accident. Upon finding and perusing through Guglielmo Quarenghi's 600 page cello method, there in the middle was a complete study on counterpoint. Included were original compositions of his own exemplifying 5 Species of Counterpoint , Imitation, Canon, and Fugue. I was hooked becau...

Episode 53 is part 3 of a four-part series on Counterpoint, taken from Guglielmo Quarenghi's massive, 600 page, Cello Method.  So far in this counterpoint series: Intro. to Counterpoint and the 5 Species ; Bio about Quarenghi Imitation and naming the parts CANON : naming the parts (in Episode 54: Fugue ) After counterpoint there will be an exhilarating Capriccio for cello and piano by Quareng...

Episode 52 Counterpoint "Imitation" : Second installment in a four-part series.  ~ 1. Counterpoint: intro. and 5 Species; 2. Imitation ; 3. Canon; 4. Fugue *Thanks to the listener who responded to the Question in Episode 37: Cello in Germany in the 17th Century . ~~The Question in this Episode, #52: How many entries of the Antecedent/Consequent are there in Quarenghi's composition, Imitation?...

Quarenghi was a cellist, composer, and pedagogue (an author, too) from Italy in the 19th C. This episode features a biographical sketch about him from The Violoncello and Its History and Counterpoint. I introduce him and the Five Species of Counterpoint . All together I am planning 5 episodes (shorter in scope) that cover Quarenghi and his dealing with Counterpoint in the cello method. ...

EPISODE 50 This is great! I am so happy that I have made all the way to 50 episodes. It has been 2 ½ years of episodic regularity with periods of uploading drought. Thanks for joining me on this journey of Forgotten Cello Music , where I have forged ahead with a unique project of featuring unknown cello music, or at the very least, neglected music.  This milestone of 50 episodes is reason to...

Episode 49. ITALY in the 19th Century: Ferdinando RONCHINI, from  "The Violoncello and Its History" First, apologies for the lengthy introduction to this episode. I felt it was necessary to explain why I have been largely absent from podcasting for the past few months--not the least of which is during summer time when family takes a more prominent position. Also, to shamelessly plug my social...
