“Elutropia is a Gemme, in colour greene, or grassie, in part coloured and bespotted with Purple speckes & bloud coloures vaines. This is a marvellous Jugler, for it will cause things object to be presented to our eies as it listeth. It being put into a Basan of water chaungeth to a mans eyesight the Sunne his beames, and giveth them a contrarie colour. Being also moved and beaten in the ayre maketh to appeare a bloudie Sunne, and darkneth the ayre in the maner of an Eclipse: and therfore it is called Eloutropia as you would say, the Sunne his enimie. There is of this name also a certain Hearbe which Enchaunters & Witches have oftentimes used and doe use, as also that above said, whereby they have mocked and deluded many, which by meanes and working and enchauntment, have so dazzled the beholders eies, that they have gone by them invisibly.” John Maplet (died 1592) A greene forest, or A natural historie 1567 This text from the clergyman, astrologer and natural historian John Maplet's fascinating work in which he describes the properties of various gemstones is the inspiration for this piece. Without being programmatic, the music is constantly developed to try and mimic the way the shafts of light mutate through the gem, and the illusions and magic they create.

“[Bach's] six unaccompanied cello suites bring together three voices - two upper voices and a bass - into one line. If so, the Goldberg Variations, which have the same structure, might also be reproduced for unaccompanied cello. This sudden idea led me to the arrangement of the piece. Of course, it is impossible to reproduce every single note, but I aimed to arrange it in a way that all the notes would sound in our mind. When combining the three lines into one, the most crucial consideration was, 'What would Bach do?' I carefully read materials and scores, repeatedly listened to recordings, performed my arrangement in concerts, and revised it over and over. That time was not painful, but pure joy, and it was a time to immerse myself in 'being Bach.' It is no exaggeration to say that it was more a time of recreation rather than arrangement. The articulations and slurs are fundamentally based on the facsimile of the first edition (the edition by Anne Fuzeau Productions) that Bach himself owned. It is a highly credible edition with corrections in red written by Bach.” Arrangement period: 2017-2023 Premiere: December 8, 2020 at Daisuke Kitaguchi Cello Recital; Muramatsu Recital Hall Shin-Osaka (Osaka).

In Band 2 wird die Grifftechnik durch den weiten Griff nach unten und den weiten Griff nach oben weiterentwickelt. Das Spektrum der Stile ist wiederum breit gefächert: Hier trifft man u.?a. die tanzende Suleika, einen Tagträumer, einen Marathonläufer, einen Bogenkünstler und sogar Béla Bartók lässt grüßen! Flotte Rhythmen in verschiedenen Taktarten, darunter auch erfreuliche Überraschungen wie ein 7/4- oder 5/8-Takt, aber auch klangvolle, romantische Stimmungsbilder sind ein Highlight bei jedem Cello-Vorspiel! Die Aufnahmen stehen als Hörversion (Cello und Klavier) und Mitspielversion in zwei Tempi (nur Klavierbegleitung) zur Verfügung. Der Download-Code hierfür befindet sich in der gedruckten Ausgabe. Für das aktive gemeinsame Musizieren im Musikunterricht oder zu Hause mit Eltern und Geschwistern ist eine Ausgabe mit sämtlichen Klavierbegleitungen erhältlich. Diese sind vom Schwierigkeitsgrad her so konzipiert, dass sie auch von Klavierschülern mühelos bewältigt werden können. Zur Serie: Nach unzähligen Anfragen von 'Fiedel-Max-begeisterten' Cello-Pädagog/-innen wurden die animierenden Vortragsstücke aus dem gleichnamigen Violin-Schulwerk Fiedel-Max liebevoll und fachgerecht für das Violoncello adaptiert. Entstanden sind 4 Bände mit Charakterstücken unterschiedlichster Stilrichtungen, die - progressiv angeordnet - einerseits die Spieltechnik entwickeln und andererseits die Fantasie und den Gestaltungswillen der jungen Cellistinnen und Cellisten nachhaltig anregen.
