This edition (CB 242) replaces Schott’s ED 158 Divertimento for cello solo. The movements have been arranged in a new order. Boris Pergamenshikov has added fingerings and bowings to four of the movements.
The Henle edition includes one cello part which has slurs, edited by Egon Voss, and a second part bowed and fingered by Reiner Ginzel. Includes Suite 5 with scordatura and concert pitch.
For advanced players, these arrangements incorporate double stops, chords and ornamentation to embellish the solo line with its own accompaniment. Contents: Silent Night (Franz Gruber), O Come All Ye Faithful, What Child Is This, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, O Holy Night (Adolphe Adam), Joy to the World Not currently in stock here but you can order directly from E&E, either download or printed format https://eecellomusic.com/collections/solos/products/carols-for-solo-cello
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.
