The Cello Suites of Johann Sebastian Bach contain some one hundred trills, many open to diverse execution and more than half sparking controversy among musicians. An important new reference work that has earned praise from America’s leading Bach scholar and an impressive list of distinguished cellists. Offers performers, teachers and students new insights into ornamentation. Trills in the Bach Cello Suites: A Handbook for Performers This is the first study in which the revival of a single period instrument has been considered in such qualified detail and will be of great interest to musicologists, luthiers, and anyone interested in string history. By chronicling the searches of over forty top cellists in England, Europe, and North America, the author goes far in revealing the great variety of forms that exist. For the cello, which changed substantially between the end of the sixteenth and early eighteenth centuries, it is challenging to describe specific traits for certain time periods, let alone how it was played in those periods. What emerges is a nuanced and detailed picture of the cello in the past and present and the varied instruments now played under the label "Baroque cello." Period instruments played with appropriate techniques have become a major presence in classical music in recent decades. This resource considers the Baroque cello's revival as part of the period instrument movement from the viewpoints of over forty cellists from three generations and four luthiers who have worked on period cellos. The Baroque Cello Revival: An Oral History It is the most comprehensive book ever to be published about the instrument and provides essential information for performers, students and teachers. It focuses in particular on four principal areas: the instrument's structure, development and fundamental acoustical principles the careers of the most distinguished cellists since the baroque era the cello repertory (including chapters devoted to the concerto, the sonata, other solo repertory, and ensemble music) and its technique, teaching methods and relevant aspects of historical and performance practice. The volume comprises thirteen essays, written by a team of nine distinguished scholars and performers, and is intended to develop the cello's historical perspective in breadth and from every relevant angle, offering as comprehensive a coverage as possible. 3 - Gabrielli, Domenico Suite in C Major - Matz, Rudolf - Fourth Movement: Sarabande - Seventh Movement: Gigue Suite No.This is a compact, composite and authoritative survey of the history and development of the cello and its repertory since the origins of the instrument.
