ΒΙΒΛΙΑ ΚΛΑΣΣΙΚΩΝ ΕΓΧΟΡΔΩΝ

Since its premiere in 1873 this work has held an important place in the violoncello repertoire. It is on the one hand a short charming composition; on the other hand, equally important, is its use in instruction during the first few years of playing. Central here are the articulation of the opening theme and its various repetitions juxtaposed with lyrical passages calling for legato playing.
Christine Baur’s new scholarly-critical edition is based on a thorough examination of all the sources, including Saint-Saëns’ later orchestral version. The edition incorporates many articulation alternatives for the soloist, which are marked “ossia” above the solo cello line in this version for cello and piano.
This important new publication offers cellists not only an Urtext part, but also one with bowing and fingering; both parts have a fold-out page so that no page turns are necessary.
– The first Urtext edition of this important work
– Fold-out page in the solo cello part, so no page turns are needed
– Includes articulation alternatives as “ossias“

The first two volumes (Z. 14306 and Z. 14324) of the edition called Chamber Music for Violoncellos include four violoncello quartets each. The grade of difficulty of the pieces ranges from easy to medium. Their style covers the period from the Renaissance to late Romanticism. Among the works we find familiar pieces and new arrangements alike. In contrast to the majority of similar editions, the added score helps a good grasp of the quartets. The recommended fingering and bowing facilitate rendering the parts according to identical concept.

The series – after three volumes of quartets – continues with trios this time. In the trio by Haydn the three cellos take turns playing the leading part. A special feature of the Purcell Chaconne is the fact that the two parts above the 6-bar ostinato bass move in canon throughout the piece. All three Mozart works? The Canon inversus (mirror canon), the Canzonetta and the Adagio ? are miniature masterpieces. The Elgar work: Salut d’ amour, with which the volume ends, demands a slightly higher level of skill, but is a rewarding task for everyone who performs it.

Chamber Music for Violoncellos Volume 8 contains four-part pieces, begins with the theme of the slow movement of Haydn’s Kaiser’ quartet (the melody of the Austrian imperial anthem) and two of the variations on that theme. Slav music is represented by Tchaikovsky’s Orthodox chorale, the Russian Folksong by Ljadov, originally performed on four cellos, and Dvořák’s Walzer. The last-mentioned piece is technically demanding. The final work is a Serenade by the 19th-century cellist and composer Georg Goltermann.

These two new editions (BA 6978 BA 6979) of David Popper’s cello studies are the first modern publications of these standard compositions. The Austrian born Popper composed these studies during his tenure at the Royal Conservatory in Budapest in the late 1890s and they were first published between 1901-05 .
The 40 etudes found in op. 73 focus on a wide range of techniques found in the major works in the cello literature. The 15 easy etudes are designed for the first years of lessons which lead to the 10 grand etudes which in turn lead to the op. 73 etudes.
Martin Rummel’s editions offer new bowings and fingerings to reflect modern playing.
The 40 Etudes op. 73 also includes a German / English brochure containing technical tips and information by Rummel as well as references to the cello literature where the individual techniques are found.
