ΒΙΒΛΙΑ ΚΛΑΣΣΙΚΩΝ ΕΓΧΟΡΔΩΝ

The six sonatas by Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739), apart from those by Antonio Vivaldi, are among the best-known baroque compositions for violoncello and basso continuo. During the lifetime of this composer who was actually famous then, the collection was already offered in printed editions in the major European music metropolises London, Paris and Amsterdam. Even if there is some uncomfortable fingering in these sonatas – which might be due to Marcello’s working with a five-string cello with an added E’ string – they are of moderate difficulty and belong to the standard works of the violoncello teaching literature. With the 4 sonatas presented here, all 6 works of the collection are now available in revised reprints (see also CB 60 and CB 104).

Concerto for Cello and Orchestra in B minor, Op. 104, isundoubtedly one of the mostpopular works from the worldwide cello repertoire, and it is the lastcomposition by Dvorak (1841-1904) written in America during his three-year stay when he workedas thedirector of the National Conservatory of Music in New York (1892-1895). Thecomposerwas not particularly fond of the cello as a solo instrument because he wasconvinced itcould only sound wonderful in the orchestra or chamber ensemble, since only itsmiddlepitch was refined (as he once commented: ‘up there it mumbles and down there itrumbles’),yet it is interesting to note that he wrote this concerto for the cello, apiece sincerely andunreservedly admired by artists and audiences the world over. This title is acritical editionbased on the composer’s manuscript and is part of the first Complete CriticalEdition ofWorks by Antonin Dvorak. Only exceptionally does this edition use a more modernmethodof cello notation for direct transition from bass to treble clefs – in thesecases the cellosounds the way it is written. For this edition the composer’s adaptation forpiano wassupplemented and revised by Karel Solc. The violoncello part is published in arevisionby Ladislav Zelenka, former member of the famous Bohemian Quartet.
