Claude Debussy: Intermezzo And Scherzo For Cello: Cello: Instrumental Work

All cellists are familiar with Debussy’s sonata which he only composed in 1915 three years before his death. Debussy had however already written two works for Violoncello and Piano in 1882 when hewas only 20 years old. They largely remained hidden from the public eye because the autograph of the “Intermezzo” – the sole source for this work – was inaccessible for decades. Today Henle Publishers arein the fortunate position of being able to present an Urtext edition of the “Intermezzo” also including the “Scherzo” that was posthumously published in 1995. The fingerings and bowings were provided byJeffrey Solow (Violoncello) and Eckart Sellheim (Piano).
