für Violoncello und Klavier / for Violoncello and Piano-Camille Saint-Saëns Allegro Appassionato Op. 43 for Cello and Piano. Urtext edition score.At the beginning of the 1870s Saint-Saëns displayed a particular partiality for theVioloncello. He composed his first Cello sonata in December 1872 immediately after having completed the first Cello concerto. It was presumably directly after this that he wrote the Allegro Appassionato for Celloand Piano op. 43 that also appeared in a version for Orchestra three years later.We do not know why he wrote the work but it is likely that after having written two weighty works for Cello Saint-Saëns wanted towrite something ?easier? that was also suitable as an encore. In this Henle Urtext edition David Geringas has kindly provided the fingering and bowing for the brilliant Cello part.

Debussy compose la Sonate pour violoncelle et piano en juillet 1915 en Normandie. Âgé de 53 ans, éprouvé par le contexte de guerre et la maladie qui l'ont éloigné de la composition, il reprend ses travaux avec l'écriture de cette Sonate. Malgré la volonté d'affirmer un style français dans la lignée des maîtres du XVIIIe siècle, Debussy sous-entend à plusieurs reprises l'absence d'idée programmatique dans la Sonate : « Je n'ai d'ailleurs écrit que de la musique pure [...] dans la forme ancienne, si souple (sans la grandiloquence des sonates modernes) ». Ce volume fait partie de la collection « Musique française », conçue pour les étudiants, les professeurs et les interprètes professionnels ; l'introduction historique et les notes de performance sont signés par la violoncelliste de renom Emmanuelle Bertrand. / Violoncelle / Durand

Alongside Bach’s Solo Suites a further highlight for cellists are Beethoven’s five Cello Sonatas. They were published between 1797 and 1817 and thus cover a large part of Beethoven’s compositional lifetime mirroring important stages of his musical development. This revised edition incorporates the findings contained in the critical report of the Beethoven Complete Edition which was compiled at the same time. The Urtext edition hasbeen re-engraved but the proven page layout of the previous edition has been preserved. The renowned cellist David Geringas provided completely new fingerings and bowings for the cello part which also has excellent page turns.An unmarked Urtext part is also included.

Arrangeur: Florence Eller. Par STRAUSS RICHARD. The Cello Sonata Op. 6 was composed over an apparently frequently interrupted period of three years, an extraordinarily long time for Strauss's early creative phase. The compositional process spawned two independent versions of the work, the first of which is published for the first time on the basis of the text in the Critical Edition of the Works of Richard Strauss in the current edition as a practical musical text. The genesis of the two versions and the reasons for revision can only be reconstructed in part: only one of the surviving autographs bears a date and the second version only survives in printed form. What is more, Strauss did not communicate in greater detail on this composition in correspondence with his family and friends. There are enormous differences between the two versions of the Sonata: Strauss deleted the entire second and third movements Larghetto and Allegro vivace, replacing them with a newly composed Andante and Finale. In the first movement, Allegro con brio, Strauss retained the thematic-motivic material and compositionally complex passages such as the three-voice fugue in the development section (from bar 241 in the first version and bar 275 in the second version) almost intact in the new version of the sonata, but also undertook extensive alterations, particularly in the structure of the piano part, the motivic-thematic development of the movement and its harmony which became far more ambitious.12 Particular attention should be drawn to the repetitive accompaniment of the con espressione theme beginning in bar 32 and the significantly shorter development in the first version. The current printed edition of the first version of Richard Strauss's Cello Sonata now makes it possible to follow Strauss's compositional development during this period. The significance of the differences between the versions also mean that two sonata compositions for violoncello and piano by Richard Strauss with fundamental disparities in their underlying character are now available for performance.

For quite some time posterity remembered Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947) for just a handful of songs and the operetta Ciboulette overlooking the incredible diversity of a catalogue as eclectic as it is appealing. Yet his chamber music contains many little-known treasures: thus cellist Steven Isserlis in his preface hastens to hail the first modern edition of these two scores which he regularly plays in recital so much does their beauty enchant the audience. Published in 1911 the Two Improvisations on Irish Airs for cello and piano turn out to be the transcription of his first and third Preludes for piano four hands (1894). Thesefolk themes come from the collection Songs of Old Ireland published 12 years earlier by Charles Villiers Stanford: gracefully and tenderly The Little Red Lark unfurls a melancholic tune of which the regular foundation respects the breadth of phrase typical of folk songs; in The Willow-Tree the lover begs his beloved in vain to take him in her arms one last time before he lies down lifeless in the shade of the tree. Beyond this sensitive exploration of the Irish soul Hahn offers us a journey into the past: the Variations chantantes sur un air ancien develop a theme borrowed from Cavalli’s opera Xerse. In this aria (1660 version: Act IV sc. 6) Ambassador Periarco dreams of moving away from court intrigues to be able to taste the pleasures ‘to which the gods have destined him’. Reynaldo Hahn’s variations succeed in maintaining the sweet simplicity of this theme as noble as it is refined.

Dans mes cours de violoncelle, je consacre toujours les cinq premières minutes à des jeux de formation de l'oreille que j'ai inventés. Ce rituel est un moment très précieux où l'élève se concentre, ouvre ses oreilles et expérimente son instrument par de nouvelles approches.Ces jeux ont beaucoup de succès auprès des élèves et plusieurs collègues m'ont demandé de les leur transmettre pour les pratiquer dans leurs cours. C'est pourquoi j'ai décidé de les regrouper dans une méthode, s'adressant à tous les professeurs de violoncelle qui cherchent des outils pour aider leurs élèves à progresser et qui souhaitent diversifier leur cours en expérimentant de nouvelles méthodes.Des oreilles magiques est une méthode originale par de nombreux aspects :L'oralitéL'élève ne voit jamais la méthode, qui fait uniquement appel à la transmission orale. Ainsi, l'élève fait vraiment jouer ses capacités auditives.L'apprentissage par le jeuLes jeux rendent le cours vivant et permettent de surmonter les difficultés en les abordant dans un contexte nouveau.La transdisciplinaritéCette méthode fait le lien entre le cours d'instrument et le cours de formation musicale, et permet de faire des progrès dans les deux disciplines.Une progression illimitéeLa plupart des jeux sont déclinés selon cinq niveaux progressifs. Chaque jeu proposé est faisable dès le premier cours de violoncelle et jusqu'aux plus hauts niveaux, et s'adresse aux enfants comme aux adultes.Le cinquième niveau est présenté sur un ton humoristique pour mettre en évidence le caractère illimité des progrès potentiels.Le lien avec le chantCette méthode emploie le chant comme un outil central du travail de l'oreille. Tout au long des jeux, l'élève est incité à chanter pour développer son chant intérieur.Je vous souhaite beaucoup de réussite avec cette méthode, et suis certaine que vos élèves adopteront ces jeux avec autant de plaisir que les miens !Estelle HuetEn 2018, la méthode Des oreilles magiques a remporté le Prix de l'Enseignement Musical de la CEMF.Presse[...] Des oreilles magiques, jeux d'oreille pour le cours de violoncelle d'Estelle Huet, manière ludique et inattendu d'introduire des cours de l'instrument [...]Pierre Jean TribotCrescendo Magazine (6 juillet 2019) / Violoncelle / Lemoine

Immediately after finishing his second Violin Sonata op. 108 Fauré started work on a sonata for Cello and Piano in early 1917 thus realising a long-conceived plan. In their predisposition and attitude both works are very closely related. In the Cello sonata a sombre dramatic opening movement is also followed by a calm relaxed slow middle movement and a graceful finale. The critical response to the first performances was subdued but on account of increasing interest in Fauré?s complete late chamber music this sonata has recently been rediscovered as a substantial part of his oeuvre. The Henle Urtext edition constitutes the first criticaledition of this work. David Geringas a master of his craft supplied the markings in the Cello part.

The E minor Cello Sonata is the first work for one solo instrument and Piano which the meticulous composer also had printed. In summer 1865 Brahms offered it to the publisher Simrock as a sonata “whose twoinstruments are both absolutely easy to play” – and rightly so: contrary to the later F-major Sonata op. 99 (HN 1135) this early sonata is technically less demanding yet musically more striking at the same time sothat it is a hit with amateurs and professionals alike. This Henle edition is based on the new Brahms Complete Edition and thus boasts besides in-depth comments a musical text revised according to the latest scholarlyfindings; as always the Cello part is enhanced with additional markings.

The Elegy for Cello and Piano was composed in 1949. It was originally conceived as the slow movement of a cello sonata which was never completed. It is a beautifully moving piece in its own rights that has – quite deservedly so – become popular with cellists.

This series takes cellists through the process of learning to read the tenor clef in a step-by-step structured approach.Complete with Cello part pull-out piano accompaniment and CD. To read the higher notes it is necessary to use 5th 6th 7th and 8th positions all of which are covered. The book thus provides a follow-up to Lorna Taylor's 'Go Fourth' and 'Taylor-Made'.

Beethoven?s three sets of cello variations comprise the ?Twelve Variations on a Theme from H?ndel?s Oratorio ?Judas Maccabeus?? (WoO 45) the ?Twelve Variations on the theme ?Ein M?dchen oder Weibchen?? (op.66) from Mozart?s opera ?Die Zauberfl?te? and the ?Seven Variations on the duet ?Bei M?nnern welche Liebe f?hlen?? (WoO 46) also from ?Die Zauberfl?te?.These works have existed in many different editions some of which have from time to time been (tacitly) reprinted with corrections to keep up to date with the latest scholarship. This new B?renreiter Urtext edition however is the first to give all Beethoven?s rhythms in the violoncello part correctly.Beethoven?s autograph manuscript of op.66 is lost; the critical commentary (English) includes a complete facsimile of the violoncello part from the only surviving source (the first edition) illustrating the various problems encountered in determining the best musical text.With numerous corrections in the violoncello partIncluded in the critical commentary is a complete facsimile of the violoncello part of op. 66 as it appeared in the first edition

A fabulous work of chamber music by Swiss composer Ernest Bloch completed in 1924. At its heart Bloch's Jewish music is emotional expressionist and despite a slow sombre mood is coloured by an exotic ambience which reflects his increasingly Jewish voice. For Cello with Piano accompaniment Prayer has an atmosphere of intense sadness and inward feeling and the three pieces here are far less linked with virtuosity than with the power of expression and faith.
