CINK – Andante Religioso – FOUR CELLOS

Other Identification:
Little is known of Antoni Cink. He was born in Pibram (Czech) but seems to have been better known professionally in Poland. Apart from his cellist career, he was professor at the Krakow Conservatoire, and also a professor at the Warsaw Musical Union.

As a performer he held the principal cello position in the Elberfield Municipal Orchestra, Germany; simultaneously cello teacher at Rauchenecker’s Music School (Elberfield). He was the cellist of the Hermann Quartet (Warsaw).

He was an arranger of high quality and also composer; albeit an occasional composer. It is a shame that so little survives today.

The ‘Andante Religioso’ was originally published for cello and harmonium, but the writing is so obviously in four parts and so much in the comfortable cello registers that one may well ask if it were perhaps originally a cello quartet! Therefore, very little effort was required on the part of David Johnstone to prepare this for four solo cellos.

Movements or sections:
Marked ‘Andante’, this music is something similar in ambience to the Serenade and Romance for four cellos of Georg Eduard Goltermann, however here with more rich harmony and part-writing – this being a generation later.

Instrumentation:
QUARTET OF FOUR CELLOS
Arranged by David Johnstone
The original for Cello and Piano, or Violin and Piano, is also available in Johnstone-Music

1 PDF, with all the individual cello parts.

Approximate difficulty:
Medium – thumb position is not required at any moment, and the piece is set in C Major.

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 !
