The composer states:'The term 'oblique strategies? was coined jointly by British musician Brian Eno and German-born British visual artist Peter Schmidt to describe a series of printed cards they developed throughout the 1970's. The cards had their origins in sets of uncannily similar working principles that both artists had established independently, and featured aphorisms intended as a means of triggering inspiration or providing useful stimulus during the creative process, particularly when encountering difficulties of fatigue or time constraint.As Eno and Schmidt wrote in their introduction to the first edition in 1975: 'They can be used as a pack (a set of possibilities being continuously reviewed in the mind) or by drawing a single card from the shuffled pack when a dilemma occurs in a working situation. In this case, the card is trusted even if its appropriateness is quite unclear. They are not final, as new ideas will present themselves, and others will become self-evident?.I chose eleven of Eno and Schmidt's strategies, ordering them in a way that revealed to me a logic and potential inter-relatedness within a hitherto disparate set of single ideas I had assembled for solo cello, each of them in turn a reflection upon the commission's initial purpose of creating a test piece for the 2014 Emanuel Feuermann cello competition.It's my hope then that the resultant composition may provide not only an interesting test of the competitors' talents but also offer the interpreter an opportunity to reflect upon the delights and pitfalls of creativity as he or she comes to terms with the various musical and technical challenges to be found within these ten minutes of music for solo cello.? / Violoncelle

Scrape for Cello Solo with Metal Plate Playback Track (CD) and Diffusion. Programme Note Scrape was written for Kammerensemble Neue Musik (KNM)’s HouseMusik event at Siemens factory (Dynamowerk) Berlin 20th June 2009 and first performed by Ringela Riemke with sound diffusion by André Bartetzki and distortion by the composer. Scrape was written under the influence of Deleuze & Guattari’s reflections on sound territory and classical music and also in relation to the huge industrial territory of the Siemens turbinefactory in Berlin. The piece brings together various pre-recorded and live metal scraping sounds with the instrumental timbres of a cello. Sounds from these disparate sources sometimes merge and are sometimes presented as clearly contrasting. The piece seeks possible relations between musician instrument metal-plate industrial sound and the resonating industrial building and seeks these relations anew each time it is transferred to a new cellist or performance space. Juliana Hodkinson

Media Type : Book Level : Beginning-Intermediate Musical Genre : All Styles Number of pages : 40 Practice for Performance provides a rare and intimate view into a very thoughtful and successful performer's personal toolkit. Set in the context of his own personal history of growth as a performer, cellist Daniel Morganstern (principal cellist for the Lyric Opera of Chicago and the American Ballet Theatre at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York) displays rare honesty in discussing the problems that faced him at various point of his career, and the ways to solve them. The discoveries sensibly unfold in a fascinating account of experiences with many notable artists whose comments and examples shaped the author's thinking. These ideas are not to be found in any other treatise on the subject of musical preparation. The examples in this book, both musical and non-musical, offer a foundation to help evoke instinctive musical responses in the mechanical processes of playing the cello, and have been advantageously applied to other instruments as well, including voice.

Fit in 15 Minutes is aimed at musicians who do not play much, who never have enough time and wish to maintain and improve their cello technique in a concentrated and efficient quarter-hour, as well as at musicians who play much as beginning of a lengthy practice or rehearsal phase. The exercises contained in this volume range from very easy exercises - some even on open strings only - to short extreme exercises which can be combined to form an individual programme at various levels of difficulty. / Violoncelle

Par BUNTING CHRISTOPHER. Warming up and keeping one?s basic technique in peak condition, (or working to get to peak condition) is fundamentally important, yet many cellists do not have routine exercises to follow. This book, the second of a two volume set, which complements book 1, provides the exercises that every cellist needs, for both the left and right hands: bow off the string; right arm choreography; shifting; winter skating; various portamenti; fives; string crossing; octaves; resilience exercises; double-stopping ritual; pizzicato; a few spiccati; bow control ? accents. Christopher Bunting (1924-2005), the cellist and composer, gave concerts, broadcasts and masterclasses throughout Europe, Australasia and the United States. The Daily Telegraph described him as ?a master?. Die Welt remarked on his ?highly developed musical comprehension, prodigious technique and outstanding artistry?, and the Swedish press called him ?one of the greatest instrumentalists of today?. He thought deeply about the psychological and physical influences that lie behind technique./ Etude / Violoncelle

This classic book offers studies of scales and arpeggios in all of their various bowed fingered and rhythmic combinations with excellent exercises progressing in difficulty and encompassing four octaves. A great resource for teachers of students at all levels!

3- und 4-stimmige Kanons. Par SCHMITZ MANFRED. Canons are fun and at the same time also help develop the ability to listen and play along, thus making them an important enhancement to musical training. With 109 pop style melodies in two volumes Manfred Schmitz work provides comprehensive and diversified material which can be flexibly implemented in teaching single pupils, for group lessons and for ensemble classes. The instruments violin, viola, violoncello and flute can thus stay „among themselves“ or play music together in all imaginable instrumental combinations. 3/4 part Particularly designed for performance in groups and ensembles, the demands grow with the addition of voices and the growing diversity of timbres. As withthe two-voiced canons, also the three and four-voiced canons can with the help of the universal versions be played in all thinkable combinations of instruments up to the various chamber music ensembles. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Contemporary - Solos / Recueil / Violoncelle
