Vict
oria Yagling's Suite for
Cello and String
Orchestra (1967) is one
of her first successes as
a composer. The movement
layout of the Suite is
fast-slow-fast-slow. The
first movement, Toccata,
is a perpetual motion
with a brisk tempo of 100
per dotted half. The Aria
is reminiscent of
Rachmaninov's Vocalise
melody and Prokofiev's
tonal language. This
movement is the
centerpiece of the Suite.
The Humoresque is closely
connected in style and
motives to the March and
Aria movements from Boris
Tchaikovsky's Suite for
Cello Solo. Mostly
homophonic Finale plays
with bitonality and
contains several
circle-of-fifth
sequences.
This
product is is the
reduction for violoncello
and piano by prof. Yuriy
Leonovich. Orchestral
material available on
hire from the publisher.
Stydy score with solo
part is available for
sale (ISMN

Vi
ctoria Yagling
(1946?2011) was born in
Russia and lived in
Finland since 1990. Her
long career as a cellist
served as an excellent
accompaniment to the
composition she began at
an early age. For 11
years she was a cello
student of Mstislav
Rostropovich at the
Moscow Conservatory and
Dmitry Kabalevsky and
Tikhon Khrennikov taught
her
composition.
Yagli
ng won the first prize in
the Gaspar Cassadò
Cello Competition and the
following year the second
prize in the Moscow
Tchaikovsky Competition.
Her solo engagements took
her to countless
countries. She has also
taught at several
international music
courses and master
classes and was often a
jury member for
international cello
competitions.
Yagl
ing left a profilic
oeuvre, and the three
cello concertos are her
main works. Her other
orchestral works include
Finnish Notebook, Lyrical
Preludes and the Suite
for Cello and String
Orchestra. She has also
composed solo works (e.g.
the Suite for Cello Solo
No. 1 chosen as an
obligatory piece for the
7th Tchaikovsky
Competition in Moscow in
1982), chamber works,
including two string
quartets, and vocal
music. Her expressive,
romantically orientated
style is Russian in
spirit and has grown out
of the soil provided by
Prokofiev and
Shostakovich.
