Cello Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1026428 Composed by Robert Kuehn. Baroque,Classical,Romantic Period. Individual part. 8 pages. Robert Kuehn #6100277. Published by Robert Kuehn (A0.1026428). A suite for the intermediate player, that contains elements of classical, romantic and baroque genres. Tempos are recommended guidance only- they work at any number of tempos (except for the allegro in movement 2). Otherwise, play them as you feel them. Movement 1 is really a set of variations on the main theme in D minor. It explores a moderate range of keys and rhythms. Movement 2 starts with an adagio that can be played quite freely, ascending from Cmaj up thru various keys, leading to an allegro/presto dance-like piano theme in Dmaj. Much room for tempo/dynamics interpretation then ending with a brief restatement of the adagio theme in a new key, followed by a mad rush up the cello to a high, quiet E, with small sighs to end the piece. Movements 3, 4 and 5 would be good performance pieces for students (melodically solid with multiple harmonic shifts, moderate bowing and fingering challenges and engaging rhythms).
