SCHUMANN – Cello Concerto – Movement I – SOLO CELLO AND THREE OTHER CELLOS (OR WITH CELLO ORCHESTRA)

Other Identification:
I always felt that a cello ensemble version with soloist would make a most interesting option for almost everyone of advanced levels!

That is to say: music conservatoires, the cello sections of professional or advanced level community symphony orchestras, and certainly to the younger generation of promising cellists who understandably wish to get the feel of what it is really like playing a ‘big’ concerto but do not (as of yet!) have a concert performance invitation from a full orchestra. So, the idea, in part, is for a soloist to gain much confidence, fully hearing the sustaining harmonies in a way in which a piano alone does not offer you.

The movement is transcribed in full, without cuts in the tuttis. With cello ensembles (that is, 6+) many double-stoppings may be more comfortable played ‘divisi’, at your discretion.

It is conceived with the wonderful cello sound of Johannes Moser in my head; this is humbly dedicated to him! So here is the result! Enjoy the music!

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
