Sonata in G Minor for Solo Cello was written in 1924 and scored in four movements: Quasi a Piacere Cantabile Sostenuto Recitativo Liberamente Allegro Con Moto Perpetuo. Apparently inspired bythe seminal Kodaly Sonata for the same instrument it is a challenging piece suitable for any aspiring virtuoso performer. Sir Granville Bantock (1868-1946) was a British composer conductor and educator. Hechannelled his energetic and creative personality into many musical projects championing the works of Jean Sibelius founding the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and composing many splendid classical pieces. Viewed by hiscontemporaries as out-of-date his music is now being appreciated as one of the last great contributions from the English Romantic movement.

Written for Moray Welsh whilst still an undergraduate at York University. This piece was completed in mid-September. Inspired by Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf. A solo 'cello seemed an appropriate medium for music which might explore the character of Harry Haller with his desire for bourgeois comfort and his strong misanthropic and suicidal tendencies. The opening theme attempts to express this - melancholy nostalgic a bit Biedermeyer (cf. Brahms Intermezzi). The basic theme of the book at its simplest is that every human personality consists of hundred of different personalities - within every man there lurks a wolf. Accordingly the tendency of my piece is for allits musical material to become distorted either by thematic transformation or by changes of timbre. There are three movements played without a break. The first is a character portrait of the Steppenwolf. The second is concerned in the most general sort of way with the dance elements in the novel - Harry's being taught to dance and appreciate low 'popular' music - a tango is recapitulated in a waltz and 'Yearning' a popular song of the time (1927) is hinted at. The third movement concerns the Masked Ball and the Magic Theatre. Mozart is one of Hesse's great loves and he is repeatedly mentioned in the book. Inevitably some Mozart quotes have been worked in the most significant being a reference to The Magic Flute 'fire and water' flute theme in the middle of the second movement. Long before I finished the piece I was disenchanted with the work of Hesse. Much of Steppenwolf I now find rather embarrassing and the claims currently made for Hesse's greatness seem to me exaggerated. Since my piece is in no important sense programmatically specific this change of heart doesn't really matter.© David Blake

Par BARTOLOMEY MATTHIAS. A young cellist called Theresa inspired Bartolomey to write this composition: from a trill, a motive develops that quickly intensifies and varies. It leads into the main part of the work which is characterised by rhythmically distinct themes and percussive effects. Short repetitive passages create a groove that will immediately make audiences‘ feet tap. There‘s an exciting, interpretative challenge awaiting the player in the middle of the piece that shall not be revealed at this point. A “must have“ for all those who dare to try something new on the cello and want to look beyond the “bow“. / Date parution : 2023-03-21/ Répertoire / Violoncelle

The composer Patrick Burgan and the giant of French music Henri Dutilleux formed real elective affinities with each other. Dutilleux never missed an oppor­tunity to mention the high esteem in which he held the younger musician’s work. Dedicated to the memory of Henri Dutilleux Songe À La Douceur takes its title from the 2nd verse of 'L’Invitation au Voyage' from the 'Fleurs du mal' by Baudelaire – a poet who was a constant source of inspiration for Dutilleux.    Burgan invites listeners to explore the musical universe of the French master: the numerous quotations of his work duly flagged in the score form a superb constellation that stretches from the Mystère de l’Instant to the Deuxième Symphonie via the quartet Ainsi la nuit Métaboles and the concerto for cello Tout un monde lointain. Reflecting L’Invitation au Voyage the composer follows the principle of verse and refrain and the hypnotic return of the soft chords in pizzicato echoes the famous lines: “Là tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté / Luxe calme et volupté”. This tribute in the form of a delicate alchemy combines sparkle sweetness and spirit.

A great collection of popular tunes arranged for cellists of Grade 2 to 3 standard to enjoy. There is an accompanying CD which contains inspiring demonstration and play-along backing tracks to aid practice and build confidence. A simple piano accompaniment is also included. Carefully arranged for Playalong cello by David Gedge.

for solo cello. Par LARCHER THOMAS. I do not compose my pieces for a certain voice range or orchestration, but for musicians, for people. It is almost impossible for me to produce a piece without having a particular person in mind or to hear him/her inwardly. No matter how standardized the interpretation of classical music is, and no matter how many coordinates have been fixed and defined, I do not want to have them seen (and therewith the notation) as determining and limiting signs, but rather as guideposts towards the creation of vital, organic music. In differentiated music, two participants are necessary in order for a piece to evolve-- the composer and the musician. Just as there is no one way for a composer to express himself or to notate music, etc., neither is there one way for a musician to read the notation, to interpret, or to live. We find ourselves, for this reason, in a network of meanings, gestures, and signs which have to be fathomed and expanded together. The tone, the breath, the gestures, the dedication, and the potentialities of a musician were also ultimately decisive for the form of this piece. It is music which pushes the expressive and technical possibilities of the instrument to its very limits. It is music in which the musician has to transport the contexts and expression over and above the notation. It was not necessary for me to find a new form for this piece; it is a work which can and should be performed in a ‘normal’ concert situation. I deliberately wanted to integrate the perhaps new and unusual content into a familiar form (thus the title ‘Sonata’) And I also wanted to embed the aforementioned extreme situations (in which the technical extremes are synonyms for tension, isolation, loss or tenderness) in an organic process in order for the listener to be able to empathize with and comprehend what is expressed in the piece. I would like to thank Natalie Clein, to whom the Sonata is dedicated, for inspiring this piece and for the path that led to the realization of the music. Thomas Larcher/ Répertoire / Violoncelle

Par BOULEZ PIERRE. Pierre Boulez wrote two pieces for solo violin, called “Anthèmes” I and II. This is the first and shorter of the pair and was composed in 1991 for the Yehudi Menuhin Violin Competition. Taking inspiration from childhood memories of Catholic church services, Boulez created a piece of two distinct sonic worlds, in seven short parts, ending with a “col legno battuto”, characteristic of Boulez’s witty humour. This arrangement is a direct transposition for cello of the original violin piece. It is not known who produced it but it is known that Boulez heard this version and approved of it./ Répertoire / Violoncelle
