The
sound of the cello in
this piece should be
foggy like voice of Ella
Fitzgerald. Sweet, smooth
and pleasant, but at the
same time slightly
hoarse, rustle, dirty.
There are almost only
natural harmonics; either
single, or in chords
(triple-stops) including
two natural harmonics, or
double-stops of two
harmonics. All should be
played flautando, sul
tasto and molto lasciar
vibrare. Flautando and
sul tasto should serve in
search for the foggy
color - harmonics should
speak less clear than
normally, but more smooth
and decent.(Martin
Smolka) ,Like Ella' would
be suited to a player of
a high standard as many
harmonics are in higher
positions and played as
triple-stops. I would
recommend ,Like Ella' to
an advanced cellist
seeking to learn a piece
of modern music to add to
their concert
repertoire.(Mitchell
Smith, AUSTA
Stringendo)

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 all its 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.

E
ach of these five
movements for solo cello
uses a different
technique to extend the
performer's control over
various dimensions of the
music. The composer
writes:
There are
five pieces. In the
first, second and fifth
there are phrase
sequences with free
pauses between them.
There are also notations
for just dynamics (sounds
free), and for just
rhythms (free sounds).
The third and fourth
pieces are on grids of 6
x 6 and 8 x 8 bars,
allowing continuities to
be chosen in variously
free ways.
The
fifth piece, consisting
of a series of passages
that may be performed in
any sequence, may also be
played as a cello duo,
with the second cellist
playing a different
sequence.
The Anton
of the title is the
dedicatee, cellist Anton
Lukoszevieze, who gave
the world premiere of
this suite at St James'
Church, Islington, London
on September 21, 2018.
This performing edition
is a facsimile of the
composer's autograph
manuscript. At moderate
tempi, the total duration
of the work may be
approximately 15
minutes.
