The Secret Of Technique In Cello Playing.Daily practice for soloists and advanced players by Albert Sammons. Op20. Transcribed by Lionel Handy. 'I was introduced to Albert Sammons' classic work The Secret of Technique in Violin Playing by Hugh Bean. I was fortunate to play chamber music with Bean for many years and he maintained that his ability to keep his technical level was largely due to Sammons teaching in general and this book in particular. Bean was a pupil of Sammons for more than twenty years and believed that this concise work was ofgreat benefit to students and also professional players with limited practice time. I am very grateful to Mr Richard King Sammons grandson and Mrs Mary Bean for allowing me not only to transcribe this work for Cello but also to include where appropriate the suggestions Sammons made in his original text and the additional notes that Bean added in the 2002 edition. I have tried to stay as close as possible to Sammons material but some adaptation has obviously been necessary. I hope that my own comments for cellists will clarify the changes that have been made and are offered as Hugh Bean said in his 2002 edition in the spirit of wishing to help both aspiring and established string players utilize to the full their practice time. Although this transcription contains several exercises not found in the classic Cello studies of Popper Duport and Grutzmacher et al I hope that the unorthodox nature of these exercises will broaden and free the imagination of cellists by providing a more extended approach to Cello technique.' - Lionel Handy

Par O'CAROLAN TURLOUGH. Aujourd'hui, Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) est considéré comme le dernier joueur de harpe grand d'Irlande et est entouré d'une aura presque mystique. Nombreuses anecdotes ont été prononcées qui témoignent d'une forte personnalité, un immense talent musical et l'énorme confiance en soi. Contrairement à d'autres, il savait comment combiner les vieux musique irlandaise avec de la Musique Baroque italien, créant ainsi un grand nombre de compositions sur 200 qui ont survécu. Belles pièces entre la musique folk et de l'art. 16 d'entre eux ont été sélectionnés par Patrick Pföß et arrangé pour trio à cordes. Une partie distincte Alto est aussi disponible - dans le cas où aucun violoncelle n'est disponible./ Répertoire / 2 Violons et Violoncelle ou Alto
