Come explore the expansive repertoire of the cello with me. From Baroque to early 20th Century, there are thousands of compositions that get almost no play time and dozens of masterpieces waiting to be resurrected by you and me.
@@TravelingCello I did notice the sound difference, but dismissed it believing it was just in my head. Really cool! 👍🏻 Listening again, this time more attentively.
Interesting. Goes to show that when one edits the video all the details seem to be very noticeable but may not be that way to every listener. And it is also worth mentioning that I must have added an artistic amount odd reverb. Lol (mainly I make these points for myself to realize that I should be easier on my self-criticisms)
@@TravelingCello I don’t, but I have always played with the idea. If I take another instrument, it would take time away from the cello. My teacher at Old Town once suggested me that I could play the cello through an octobass pedal. I kinda liked the idea.
@@1ralton1 that is a great question. I wish I could have figured out how to salvage it. Alas, I was unable to and, as I was told by several luthiers independently, the angle of the neck was no longer appropriate for that bridge. In essence, I might ultimately need to have major work done on the neck. At least from what I gather from the assessments.
I really like it without accompaniment. I greatly enjoy listening without any accompaniment as it enables the cello to really take center stage and be enjoyed. It also brings out your talents as a cellist allowing you to take ownership of the pieces with your added touches that always add life bringing the luster into the music. Keep this up. I enjoy your solos the must. This is a crazy piece. Super fun.
Arron this is incredible. You played immaculately and added such emotion increasing its musical value. Your touch to this piece greatly exemplifies its beauty. Thank you for playing. You truly give it life as it needs. Wow!!! 👏 Seriously impressive.
This is a truly beautiful piece, and it sounds amazing as it is, just a practice session. Dad at the piano accompaniment, this is the luckiest a musician can be! …and this came right on my 60th birthday!
Thank you - I struggled for a while, but your explanation was very good and fixed the issue. I think i started out at musescore 2 or so, a very long time along. Cheers
Can you explain what you mean? I think I am missing what you mean by that. Are you talking about the sheet music and just having a solo part in it? Thanks so much. :)
Aaron, just asked Chat GPT the exact same question. This is the answer I got. “In music, a "minus one" refers to a version of a musical recording where one specific part, usually the lead vocal or instrument, is omitted. This allows musicians or singers to perform that missing part themselves. It's commonly used in practice or performance settings, such as karaoke tracks where the lead vocal is absent, allowing someone to sing along to the music.”
@@ErnestoGhinaglia ohhhhhh, that makes sense. Ha, I should have thought to do that. Lol I shall try it out. What should I upload as minus one, for starters?
Thanks so much. I'm glad you like this one, too. I am going through all of Goltermann's cello music. Some day I'll have all his music recorded and uploaded to my youtube channel.
You were right. This is beautiful and I think it's also way more intense than La Foi. Did you arrange that second cello? Put it up for sale and I'll snatch it out of your hands in heartbeat.
Yes, I arranged the cello 2 part myself. Glad you like it and would like an arrangement of it. I have been thinking to make one. Are you going to learn the solo part soon?
I found the original cello and piano edition on imslp and quickly read through it. The solo part seems very straightforward. I think I’ll start working on it. I hear double stops on your 2nd cello arrangement. MY NEMESIS! 😂
Great video. As an adult beginner, soon intermediate, cellist, I really enjoy watching cello practising. It makes me feel connected to the craft of playing this wonderful instrument. I played the trombone for 20 years, until I accidentally tried playing the cello for the first time two years ago. It was like a lightning hit me, and I was instantly obsessed. But learning a new instrument is hard, so thank you very much for letting me take part in the mysterious ways of mastering the cello.
Good to hear. Cello does have that effect on many people. :D It was always very interesting to watch others practice when I was a student. Figured it would be interesting for somebody. And that would be you. ;)
Do you mean that I am playing like that or that it should be played more held back? It has been several months since I recorded this but I think I was trying to show it more realistic to playing quickly.
@@TravelingCello I think you are doing a great job. And I am looking for advice on wrist technique in cello playing. But perhaps it is a matter of style rather than technique? I take it that the wrist should remain straight and balanced but can move up and down naturally. I think that this comment is indicative of a veritable natural level of specific personal preference mixed with proper technique! But I like your style, technique, and qualities of tonality in combination with your tact on the cello in both fast and slow tempos or tempi.
