The composer writes: “Lament” is a slow movement based on a short tune first presented high on the C string, in imitation of a wooden flute. The tune is fragmented and gradually reassembled, finally appearing well above the normal cello range, in harmonics. “Trilling” is a response both to my interest in rhythmic and metric interaction and to the frustrating boredom of practicing standard trill studies as a cello student. The movement proceeds with a nearly constant measured trill on one string while a slower moving line on adjacent strings continuously redefines the metric meaning of the trill. A short cadenza in the center of the piece leads to a varied recapitulation of the main idea.
#854 Beyond what many people consider to be the “intermediate” player. Extensive use of thumb position in arpeggios, complex rhythms, bowing, double stops and chords. Solo cello
The ricercari are more accessible than many movements of Bach’s suites, so keep them in mind when looking for solo works. FYI, this edition has no fingerings suggested.
A suite for solo cello includes 8 short movements: Intrada, Cantabile, Minuetto I and II, Siciliano, Pizzicato, Toccatina, and Finale Giocoso. Movements are of uneven difficulty, some staying in first position while others require fluence through 4th. Another good grow-witih-me selection.
