And when I move my hand in the higher positions, will I always use my thumb to immediately play a note with the thumb, or can I also just „move my thumb over the cello-edge“ to make it possible that only the other fingers play?

Wonderful video! There are so many balances to strike in this Suite: evocations of Flamenco guitar styles, the ancient dance genres dating back to Imperial Spain-and also the palpable influence of Maurice Ravel. Some of it, for example the flute taksim that opens the second movement, isn’t by Cassadó at all. Much of how the work appears on the page is a graphic approximation of the “actual” music-including Cassadó’s rendering of that taksim-clarifying that this Suite mustn’t be read as literally as we might read Webern. (I’m wondering if that’s indeed a misprint; it’s so Ravel!) Listening to how, for example, Vicente Gomez or Paco Peña render the same melismas is a game-changer from what meets the eye on paper. Thanks so much for such probing work!
