I am Cello
is one of several solo
pieces by means of which
the Australian-based
composer remained in
contact with her
interpreters all over the
world during the time of
the coronavirus pandemic,
composing and
communicating via video
and streaming. It was
written for the cellist
Benedict Kloeckner and
produced by him at the
SWR Studio Kaiserslautern
in autumn 2020 and
released on CD by
Brilliant Classics the
following year. The
requirement to write
something short to be
played between the Bach
Solo Suites alongside the
music of other composers
quickly gave rise to the
idea of a piece that
“is almost a song
and tells almost a story.
It is also almost a
waltz, but a slow one. I
see this piece like a
flower bulb that opens up
over the course of 2-3
minutes,†says
Elena Kats-Chernin.

Preface: Talle,
Andrew.
When we
think of the cello, we
automatically think of
Bach’s immortal
cello suites. They are
the very core of cello
literature, their
timeless beauty
accompanying cellists
from their student years
throughout the height of
their professional
careers.
Consideri
ng the works’
significance, the great
number of editions in
existence is not
surprising. However, the
composer’s
autograph has not been
preserved and is
considered lost. This
circumstance creates an
exceptional challenge
many editors faced over
the years. The four
autograph sources still
in existence and the
first print from 1824
show numerous small
deviations, especially in
terms of articulation
markings and
phrasing.
In this
two-volume edition of
Bach’s cello
suites, Andrew Talle now
presents an entirely new
view of the relationships
between existing sources.
The first volume contains
the edited musical text,
which comes as close to
the composer’s
original intention as the
surviving source material
allows: “This
edition does not
constitute a perfect
reconstruction of the
lost autograph; that is
something no editor could
claim to accomplish.
Instead, I have attempted
to supply musicians and
researchers with a
reliable version of the
surviving musical text of
the six cello suites, and
to convey a sense of the
many possibilities Bach
encouraged his musicians
to explore.â€The
second volume presents,
for the first time,
synoptically arranged
facsimiles of the
handwritten sources as
well as the first print
(with Suite No. V also
including Bach’s
own arrangement for
lute), allowing readers
to compare any specific
section in all sources at
one glance. This allows
for a straightforward and
immediate consideration
of all sources, making
editorial decisions
transparent and
self-evident.
Andr
ew Talle’s edition
is supplemented by a
comprehensive discussion
of the instrument for
which the suites were
created, as well as
information regarding
musical interpretation
during Bach’s
time.

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.

Manfred
Trojahn on the origin and
title of his impressive
virtuoso solo
work: Admittedly I do
not know if he had
seagulls, but since
Mendelssohn was born in
Hamburg, he will not have
gone through life without
at least the impression
of the cry of seagulls.
Nor do I know if seagulls
played any part in his
life in Rome. I myself
was astonished when, one
or two years ago in the
Villa Massimo, I was, not
exactly annoyed but
disturbed by the strong
rhythmical cry of
seagulls. I was just
about to write a bassoon
solo when the seagulls
started. Then the
idea came to me that
precisely this sequence
of notes could serve as
the basis of the work.
And the sequence for the
bassoon solo is, in turn,
the basis of the piece
for violoncello - this is
how titles are born... Of
course the violoncello
meanders with virtuosic
ease from the seagull
motif to the 'elf-like'
skittering brought to
music by Mendelssohn and
used time and again in
his compositions, finally
becoming a cabaletta.
Now, cabalettas are not
very representative of
Mendelssohn, but as I was
composing I definitely
wanted to put a cabaletta
in this passage. I am
sure Mendelssohn and I
will easily agree on
this, especially since
later justice is done to
him in the rapid passages
and, of course in the
tonal cadenza at the very
end, which is more
indicative of his time
than of mine ... isn't
it?

Written in
2001, this work was
conceived by the need to
enlarge the repertoire of
works for solo cello, an
important goal since the
repertoire of such works
is limited. Most cellists
are limited to
performances of such
well-known solo works as
the Suites of Bach,
written almost 300 years
ago, as well as other
classics of the genre by
Max Reger, Zoltan Kodaly,
Benjamin Britten, Gaspar
Cassado, Enric Casals,
etc.
The
intention of the Suite
Exotique is to
revolutionize the concept
of the Baroque suite by
transforming the suite
into a collection of
modern dances, which are
both contemporary and
widely recognized today.
Thus, the dances of the
Baroque suite, such as
Allemande, Courante,
Sarabande are substituted
for the Tango, Milonga,
Blues in such a way that
the traditional formal
structure of six
movements of Baroque
dances is modernized by
rhythms and contemporary
styles which coexist in
the Modern world, but are
separate from and do not
pertain to those works
which are normally
considered to belong to
the realm of cultured
music.
Apart
from the fusion
represented by the
mixture of a Baroque
genre with modern, urban
musical language found in
this work, the subtitle
exotica is appropriate
due to the originality of
writing such a work for
cello solo. This work
allows the interpreter to
explore and take full
advantage of their
technical, artistic and
expressive
abilities.
This
work establishes a total
symbiosis between the
instrument and the
evolutionary
transformation of its
musical language which in
turn creates a style
adapted to the expressive
requirements of the work
itself. The specific
techniques and qualities
of the cello are placed
in service of the
required style and
concept of each movement
of the Suite. At the same
time those stylistic
characteristics are
transformed and adapted
to the particular
characteristics of the
cello and taking full
advantage of the
instruments polyphonic,
sonic, aesthetic
qualities as well as its
timbre.
The
Suite Exotique was
premiered in August, 2003
during the International
Music Festival of Ibiza
by the Russian cellist
Svetlana Tovstukha.
