I - Lento II - Imposante III - Andante Programme Note In my early television remembrance I recall a broadcast with Samuel Beckett one of the fathers of the absurd play and drama. At one time Beckett looked the viewer (the camera) in the eye and said:'What! - is the Word'. I have not since been able to forget it obviously having borrowed this ambiguous sentence as title for this short cello sonata. The fact that it is conceived as a unity is obvious from the fact that the two outer movements are closely related. The long immediately recognizable melodic line which dominates the first movement appears in the third movement aswell first in an inverted version and then almost identical to its original appearance only shorter. In contrast the middle movement is a fast one constantly and intensely on the move with many changes of pulse and meters as well as large melodic leaps. And while the outer movements each are composed as a single melodic line the middle movement makes extensive use of the cello as a polyphonic instrument employing lots of chords double stops and flageolet effects.

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

Instrument : cello Nombre de Pages : 8 This tribute piece was commissioned as a birthday surprise to Michael Berman. The first performance was given by Raphael Wallfisch at a private event in 2004 at the Palace of Westminster. Although entirely unbarred the music is fully notated, both rhythmically and melodically. The B flat-B motif derived from the work's title (i.e. H-B in German notation) features prominently throughout, and a wide expressive and dynamic range is called for. Although small in scale, this work is an important addition to MacMillan's output for the cello, already distinguished by the short, intense solo in angustiis II ..., a large-scale concerto and two mighty sonatas.

A short but compelling solo for cello. . . revealed a familiar intensity of spiritual ambition.Daily Telegraph 21 June 1982

Enrique Granados (1867-1916) was a Spanish composer and pianist who studied in Barcelona and Paris and whose life was tragically cut short by the First World War. The nationalist style which dominated his early output is often seen to be epitomised by the 1890 work 12 Danza Española a collection of Spanish dances originally for the solo Piano. Andaluza is No. 5 from 12 Danza Española and has been transcribed here for Cello with Piano accompaniment. This high quality edition comes in a marbled cover and would be a perfect gift for any cellist interested in Spanish music.

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
