Nicholas, Cello Grand Prix

The Toccata capricciosa op. 36 is a solo instrument work by Miklós Rózsa. It is a radical departure from his monumental film scores, with a maximum scoring reduction to bring back pure music. The piece was dedicated to Gregor Piatigorsky, follows an ABA' form, and contrasts virtuosic and furioso outbursts with a lyrical and almost meditative section. The tonal centre of the piece remains recognizable as D minor.

Edited by Pierre Fournier and Revised by Friedrich Gruetzmacher (IMC)

Jean-Louis Duport's Studies for Cello, written over 200 years ago, is still relevant in cello pedagogy today. Duport, a French cellist, and his brother Jean-Pierre revolutionized cello performance. Duport's virtuosity led to his collaborations with King Friedrich Wilhelm II and Ludwig van Beethoven on his Op. 5 cello sonatas. Duport's Studies for Cello remains essential in cello practice, composed primarily by him and his teacher Martin Berteau.
