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.
New School of Cello Studies Book 2 is a book of exercises chosen to develop stylistic awareness and technical control. The book is suitable for lower elementary grades and has been edited and fingered by Percy Such.
This volume's musical text and articulation are based on the 1806 first edition of Janet et Cotelle of Paris. We've modernized fingerings and bowings to reflect cello playing today. The new edition is free from many elements added by various editors over the last 200 years, restores the etudes' original order, and includes the 2nd cello in a separate score. A brochure with comments on the etudes and references to their usage in standard cello literature, similar to the popular Popper Etudes, is also included.
• Fold-out pages for easy reading
• Ad libitum cello part included for improvisation
• Fingerings and bowings designed for modern cellists
• German/English brochure with playing tips and references to cello literature
This is Book 2 of Duport’s 21 etudes series, edited and fingered by Leo Schulz. It follows Book 1 and comprises episodes 14-21, designed to improve finger agility and bowing techniques of intermediate to advanced cellists.
Jean-Louis Duport, a renowned cellist, published “21 Etudes for Violoncello” in 1806, which became the fundamental reference point for cello teaching. The exercises have artistic value and are highly challenging. This recording is played with original instruments and historical bows, following precise philological criteria. It is a must-listen for cello enthusiasts and anyone interested in Classical era France.
