Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to the Cello written by Robin Stowell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-06-28 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a compact, composite and authoritative survey of the history and development of the cello and its repertory since the origins of the instrument. The volume comprises thirteen essays, written by a team of nine distinguished scholars and performers, and is intended to develop the cello's historical perspective in breadth and from every relevant angle, offering as comprehensive a coverage as possible. It focuses in particular on four principal areas: the instrument's structure, development and fundamental acoustical principles; the careers of the most distinguished cellists since the baroque era; the cello repertory (including chapters devoted to the concerto, the sonata, other solo repertory, and ensemble music); and its technique, teaching methods and relevant aspects of historical and performance practice. It is the most comprehensive book ever to be published about the instrument and provides essential information for performers, students and teachers.
Download or read book Playing the Cello 1780 1930 written by George Kennaway and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative study of nineteenth-century cellists and cello playing shows how simple concepts of posture, technique and expression changed over time, while acknowledging that many different practices co-existed. By placing an awareness of this diversity at the centre of an historical narrative, George Kennaway has produced a unique cultural history of performance practices. In addition to drawing upon an unusually wide range of source materials - from instructional methods to poetry, novels and film - Kennaway acknowledges the instability and ambiguity of the data that supports historically informed performance. By examining nineteenth-century assumptions about the very nature of the cello itself, he demonstrates new ways of thinking about historical performance today. Kennaway’s treatment of tone quality and projection, and of posture, bow-strokes and fingering, is informed by his practical insights as a professional cellist and teacher. Vibrato and portamento are examined in the context of an increasing divergence between theory and practice, as seen in printed sources and heard in early cello recordings. Kennaway also explores differing nineteenth-century views of the cello’s gendered identity and the relevance of these cultural tropes to contemporary performance. By accepting the diversity and ambiguity of nineteenth-century sources, and by resisting oversimplified solutions, Kennaway has produced a nuanced performing history that will challenge and engage musicologists and performers alike.
Download or read book Cello Practice Cello Performance written by Miranda Wilson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-05-27 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to perform expressively on the cello? In Cello Practice, Cello Performance, professor Miranda Wilson teaches that effectiveness on the concert stage or in an audition reflects the intensity, efficiency, and organization of your practice. Far from being a mysterious gift randomly bestowed on a lucky few, successful cello performance is, in fact, a learnable skill that any player can master. Most other instructional works for cellists address techniques for each hand individually, as if their movements were independent. In Cello Practice, Cello Performance, Wilson demonstrates that the movements of the hands are vitally interdependent, supporting and empowering one another in any technical action. Original exercises in the fundamentals of cello playing include cross-lateral exercises, mindful breathing, and one of the most detailed discussions of intonation in the cello literature. Wilson translates this practice-room success to the concert hall through chapters on performance-focused practice, performance anxiety, and common interpretive challenges of cello playing. This book is a resource for all advanced cellists—college-bound high school students, undergraduate and graduate students, educators, and professional performers—and teaches them how to be their own best teachers.
Download or read book The Cellist s Guide to Scales and Arpeggios written by Theodore Buchholz and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cellist’s Guide to Scales and Arpeggios is intended for cellists of all ages, experience, and ability levels, including teachers, students, amateurs, and professionals. This book offers a thorough, sequential syllabus of cello scales and arpeggios. The authors start with the most basic one-octave scales and work through a variety of systems, including some of the most complex scales a cellist might ever encounter. There are virtually no other publications that provide a complete and sequential guide for cellists. Along with the printed and electronic versions of the book, this 140-page sourcebook includes a unique assortment of drones to help with intonation. In addition, there are 41 instructional videos accessible through QR codes. These demonstrate various cello techniques, including ways to tune, extensions, shifting, coordination exercises, velocity studies, and much more. It’s almost like having two university-level cello teachers with you in your practice room, showing you how to achieve a beautiful tone and precise intonation through scales and arpeggios.

Download or read book Musical Topics and Musical Performance written by Julian Hellaby and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal purpose of topics in musicology has been to identify meaning-bearing units within a musical composition that would have been understood by contemporary audiences and therefore also by later receivers, albeit in a different context and with a need for historically aware listening. Since Leonard Ratner (1980) introduced the idea of topics, his relatively simple ideas have been expanded and developed by a number of distinguished authors. Topic theory has now become a well-established branch of musicology, often embracing semiotics, but its relationship to performance has received less attention. Musical Topics and Musical Performance thus focuses on the interface of theory and practice, and investigates how an appreciation of topical presence in a work may prompt interpretative thoughts for a potential performer as well as how performers have responded to such a presence in practice. The chapters focus on music from the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries with case studies drawn from composers as diverse as Beethoven, Scriabin and Péter Eötvös. Using both scores and recordings, the book presents a variety of original and innovative perspectives on the subject from a range of distinguished authors, and addresses a neglected area of musicology and musical performance.
