Cello

then came right back to the calmness. It was clear to hear the form of ABA or ternary form in the piece. The first section was the peaceful section, which was pleasing to the ear. The next section, B, was more tense which became suddenly louder, but then returns to the sense of peace. The piece that I was most impressed with was “Spiral” for Three Cellos. Before they began, one girl gave some background about the piece that I found extremely interesting. She stated that the piece was originally written for one cello, while later it was…

If the cellos sat on the outside, or if the violins sat in the middle, this would look very strange. Again, this has to do with the way we sit now being considered the norm. Any change in our formation would catch the audience off guard, as the audience consists of mostly our family members who have grown used to seeing us sit the certain way we sit now. Therefore, whenever people watch an orchestra perform, they expect the violins on the outside and the cellos and violas on the inside, and the…

assignment is the cello. The cello has been in existence for over five hundred years. It was invented in Italy. The cello was invented after the rest of the violin family. Some of the earliest cellos were invented around the middle of the sixteenth century. The instrument was original called the bass violin. Violoncello was the original full name given to this stringed instrument. The name was later shortened to cello. The cello’s pitch is between the viola and bass when played. The…

111, I found the first movement to be extremely interesting, especially because of the time signature that it was written in. It appears that the first movement is written in 9/8, which I was not expecting to hear. The first movement puts a lot of the focus onto the cello, which I enjoyed listening to. The sound of the cello was prominently featured, which I enjoyed. It seems that the violins imitate the sound the cello is producing about twenty seconds into the piece, which creates almost a…

A Different Role I had always admired the cellos in the music rooms of Trudeau. In Grade 9, I started playing the double bass when I joined the strings program, and while I enjoyed bass, I had always wanted to play the cello. Making the switch was extremely difficult, but I worked hard for it, and now, over a year later, I am able to play decently. One of the first memories I had with cello started in February of 2015. I had just finished an entire semester of playing bass, and I was looking…

planes what to do with their day off. Mia looks in the newspaper and sees news about her boyfriend Adam 's band. She planned to go to his concert that night, but she also wants to practice her cello. Mia is a passionate and gifted cellist who is confident that her recent audition will gain her an acceptance into Juilliard. Unfortunately she left her cello at school and is unable to rehires, so she decides to spend quality time…

the strings orchestra. This often leads to some people thinking of every strings instrument in terms of the violin. For example, a cello is a “big violin.” Lots of strings players who don't play the violin are often enraged by comments like these, but how close are cellos to violins? Cellos are actually very similar to violins, as their alias suggests, but violins and cellos are also very different. Violins, for starters, are quite small, and cover high registers of notes. Violins are played…

and how it interacts with occupation and cultural perception. Some significant points that show this exploration of personal identity include the symbolism and comparison of the two cellos to Daigo, the journey towards Daigo’s job as a Nokanshi agent, and Daigo’s relationship and rediscovery of his father. Together, these themes provide insight into not only Daigo’s identity, but the theme of identity…

are vastly over scaled so that they read from the street and provide the proper visual termination to the upward movement. Such an achievement in height, of course, was based on the exploratory work of Jenney, Adler, and Sullivan, but the monumental impulse was much different from that in Chicago’ Melnikov in his work not only has overdrawn with classical traditions of architecture but also protested against the machine aesthetic of Le Corbusier and has expressed that into a much more…

River and gently plays out the theme of love with high,low and gyral music shown below: After this section, lively ‘development’ section comes, alternating with violin solo and the whole orchestra interpreting their joyful days in school (refers to the Chinese folktale – Liang-Zhu). The violin solo and the answer of cello are like the two people meeting and talking where the music is happy and delightful. The movement ends with a ‘recapitulation’ with changes to a slower tempo interpreting…
