Cello,Piano - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1081888 Composed by Carlo Alfredo Piatti. Arranged by Michele Galvagno & Raphael Pidoux. Classical,Instructional,Romantic Period. Score and part. 26 pages. Artistic Score Engraving di Galvagno Michele #686016. Published by Artistic Score Engraving di Galvagno Michele (A0.1081888). The Race, for cello and piano, is a fresh, virtuoso piece written by Carlo Alfredo Piatti (1822—1901) to celebrate his successful recovery from a long period of illness which kept him away from his beloved cello and from the concert stage. A short introduction by the piano serves as a countdown to a funny chase where the cellist needs to keep the bow in check at every turn to avoid losing control. Left-hand is clearly challenging at this speed, but Piatti’s masterful writing makes the learning path a very rewarding one. This publication is the third one celebrating the 200th anniversary of Piatti’s birth, and comes in a single file containing both the score and two versions of the cello part. One follows faithfully the composer’s manuscript, while the second provides fingering suggestions by Raphaël Pidoux, professor at the CNSM in Paris.
