Baroque Instruments The Baroque Cello and Its Performance Marc Vanscheeuwijck The instrument we now call a cello (or violoncello) apparently deve- loped during the first decades of the 16th century from a combina- tion of various string instruments of popular European origin (espe- cially the rebecs) and the vielle. Although nothing precludes our hypothesizing that the bass of the violins appeared at the same time as the other members of that family, the earliest evidence of its existence is to be found in the treatises of Agricola,1 Gerle,2 Lanfranco,3 and Jambe de Fer.4 Also significant is a fresco (1540- 42) attributed to Giulio Cesare Luini in Varallo Sesia in northern Italy, in which an early cello is represented (see Fig. 1). 1 Martin Agricola, Musica instrumentalis deudsch (Wittenberg, 1529; enlarged 5th ed., 1545), f.

  • A Pedagogical Analysis of Dvorak's Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op
    A Pedagogical Analysis of Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104 by Zhuojun Bian B.A., The Tianjin Normal University, 2006 M.Mus., University of Victoria, 2011 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Cello) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2017 © Zhuojun Bian, 2017 Abstract I first heard Antonin Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104 when I was 13 years old. It was a memorable experience for me, and I was struck by the melodies, the power, and the emotion in the work. As I became more familiar with the piece I came to understand that it holds a significant position in the cello repertory. It has been praised extensively by cellists, conductors, composers, and audiences, and is one of the most frequently performed cello concertos since it was premiered by the English cellist Leo Stern in London on March 19th, 1896, with Dvorak himself conducting the Philharmonic Society Orchestra. In this document I provide a pedagogical method as a practical guide for students and cello teachers who are planning on learning this concerto. Using a variety of historical sources, I provide a comprehensive understanding of some of the technical challenges presented by this work and I propose creative and effective methods for conquering these challenges. Most current studies of Dvorak’s concerto are devoted to the analysis of its structure, melody, harmony, rhythm, texture, instrumentation, and orchestration. Unlike those studies, this thesis investigates etudes and student concertos that were both precursors to – and contemporary with – Dvorak’s concerto.

  • The Issue of Size: a Glimpse Into the History of the Violoncello Piccolo
    Page 1 The Issue of Size: A Glimpse into the History of the Violoncello Piccolo by Johanna Randvere Early Music Department University of the Arts, Sibelius Academy April 2020 Page 2 Abstract The aim of this research is to find out whether, how and why the size, tuning and the number of strings of the cello in the 17th and 18th centuries varied. There are multiple reasons to believe that the instrument we now recognize as a cello has not always been as clearly defined as now. There are written theoretical sources, original survived instruments, iconographical sources and cello music that support the hypothesis that smaller-sized cellos – violoncelli piccoli – were commonly used among string players of Europe in the Baroque era. The musical examples in this paper are based on my own experience as a cellist and viol player. The research is historically informed (HIP) and theoretically based on treatises concerning instruments from the 17th and the 18th centuries as well as articles by colleagues around the world. In the first part of this paper I will concentrate on the history of the cello, possible reasons for its varying dimensions and how the size of the cello affects playing it. Because this article is quite cello-specific, I have included a chapter concerning technical vocabulary in order to make my text more understandable also for those who are not acquainted with string instruments. In applying these findings to the music written for the piccolo, the second part of the article focuses on the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, namely cantatas with obbligato piccolo part, Cello Suite No.

  • Meet the String Family
    Quapaw Quartet Presents Meet the String Family Instruments of the String Family There are three string instruments played by the four members of the Quapaw Quartet: Two violins, one viola, and one cello. The full orchestra includes two additional string instruments, the double bass and the harp. Except for the harp, these instruments are played by the right hand, either with a bow or plucking the strings with your fingers. [See short examples of all five instruments on YouTube played by college students at the University of Texas: String instruments of the orchestra www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxFNHeXKmrY May 22, 2011.] The violin, sometimes called the fiddle, is the smallest of the instruments in the The String Family string quartet. It is played by resting the belly of the instrument on your left shoulder, placing your chin on the chinrest, and holding the neck, or the skinnier part, of the violin in your left hand. Violins play the highest notes because its strings are the shortest and thinnest of all string instruments. The viola is the medium-sized instrument endpin in the string quartet and plays lower notes than the violin. This is because its strings The cello and double bass are actually much larger are longer and thicker than those on the compared to the violin and viola than it looks like in this violin. It is held the same way as a violin illustration. and looks exactly like a violin except for that fact that it is slightly larger. The cello (also called the violincello) is the largest instrument in the string quartet and plays the lowest notes.

  • Developing a Personal Vocabulary for Solo Double Bass Through Assimilation of Extended Techniques and Preparations
    Developing a Personal Vocabulary for Solo Double Bass Through Assimilation of Extended Techniques and Preparations Thomas Botting This thesis is submitted in partial requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Sydney Conservatorium of Music The University of Sydney 2019 i Statement of Originality This is to certify that, to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Thomas Botting November 8th, 2018 ii Abstract This research focuses on the development of a personal musical idiolect for solo double bass through the assimilation of extended techniques and preparations. The research documents the process from inception to creative output. Through an emergent, practice-led initial research phase, I fashion a developmental framework for assimilating new techniques and preparations into my musical vocabulary.The developmental framework has the potential to be linear, reflexive or flexible depending on context, and as such the tangible outcomes can be either finished creative works, development of new techniques, or knowledge about organisational aspects of placing the techniques in musical settings. Analysis of creative works is an integral part of the developmental framework and forms the bulk of this dissertation. The analytical essays within contain new knowledge about extended techniques, their potential and limitations, and realities inherent in their use in both compositional and improvisational contexts. Video, audio, notation and photos are embedded throughout the dissertation and form an integral part of the research project.

  • Carnal Musicology in a New Edition of Luigi Boccherini's ​Cello Concerto
    Carnal Musicology in a New Edition of Luigi Boccherini’s Cello Concerto in D major G. 478 ​ D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Samuel Converse Johnson, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 D.M.A. Committee: Professor Mark Rudoff, Advisor Dr. Kristina MacMullen Dr. Juliet White-Smith Dr. David Clampitt Copyright by Samuel Converse Johnson 2020 Abstract The music of Luigi Boccherini has experienced a slow and steady revival over the last half century, yet few of his twelve cello concertos are widely published. This document presents a newly engraved edition of Boccherini’s Cello Concerto in D major G. 478, including solo parts ​ ​ and full score. I use carnal musicology to support a historically informed editorship of the cello part. In doing so I critique the anachronistic ways in which Boccherini’s music has been edited and published, particularly by Friedrich Grützmacher in his late 19th century Boccherini concerto mash-up. Grützmacher’s widely accepted version compromises the techniques that would have been implicit in Boccherini’s music, such that these inventions are lost in modern cello pedagogy and performance. My approach offers a new way of teaching and historicizing music that is faithful to Boccherini and caring toward the cello playing body. This project provides resources for the well-being of musicians and their bodies through a musicology that re-centers practice as community rather than isolation. The primary historical contributions I make to what we know of Boccherini are embodied and transcribed into the performance edition itself.

  • History of the Violin
    History of the Violin Batchelder violin (USA) The earliest stringed instruments were mostly plucked (the Greek lyre). Bowed instruments may have originated in the equestrian cultures of Central Asia, an example being the Kobyz (Kazakh: қобыз) or kyl-kobyz is an ancient Turkic, Kazakh string instrument or Mongolian instrument Morin huur: Turkic and Mongolian horsemen from Inner Asia were probably the world’s earliest fiddlers. Their two-stringed upright fiddles were strung with horsehair strings, played with horsehair bows, and often feature a carved horse’s head at the end of the neck. The violins, violas, and cellos we play today, and whose bows are still strung with horsehair, are a legacy of the nomads. It is believed that these instruments eventually spread to China, India, the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East, where they developed into instruments such as the erhu in China, the rebab in the Middle East, the lyra in the Byzantine Empire and the esraj in India. The violin in its present form emerged in early 16th-Century Northern Italy, where the port towns of Venice and Genoa maintained extensive ties to central Asia through the trade routes of the silk road. The modern European violin evolved from various bowed stringed instruments from the Middle East and the Byzantine Empire. It is most likely that the first makers of violins borrowed from three types of current instruments: the rebec, in use since the 10th century (itself derived from the Byzantine lyra and the Arabic rebab), the Renaissance fiddle, and the lira da braccio (derived from the Byzantine lira).
