Sonata (Solo Cello)

Sonata For Cello No.2 - In Due Tempi is the second of Per Nørgård's four sonatas for cello solo consisting of Solo intimo (1953) and Solo in Scena (1980). ''Solo in scena' was composed in 1980 as a second and complementary movement to my one-movement cello piece of 1953 »Solo intimo«. The two works form a two-movementsonata 'in due tempi' the two movements uniting after 27-years. Each movement can also be performed separately.' Per Nørgård

Par STRAUSS RICHARD. In 1880 Richard Strauss began composing the 'Sonata for cello and piano' op. 6. Before it went to print in 1883 he revised the complete piece. Only the first movement remained unaltered. Strauss dedicated the 'Sonata for cello and piano' in F major to his friend Hans Wihan (at that time solo cellist with the court orchestra of Munich), who also took part in the premiere of the piece in Nuremberg.

Sonata in G Minor for Solo Cello was written in 1924 and scored in four movements: Quasi a Piacere Cantabile Sostenuto Recitativo Liberamente Allegro Con Moto Perpetuo. Apparently inspired bythe seminal Kodaly Sonata for the same instrument it is a challenging piece suitable for any aspiring virtuoso performer. Sir Granville Bantock (1868-1946) was a British composer conductor and educator. Hechannelled his energetic and creative personality into many musical projects championing the works of Jean Sibelius founding the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and composing many splendid classical pieces. Viewed by hiscontemporaries as out-of-date his music is now being appreciated as one of the last great contributions from the English Romantic movement.

for solo cello. Par LARCHER THOMAS. I do not compose my pieces for a certain voice range or orchestration, but for musicians, for people. It is almost impossible for me to produce a piece without having a particular person in mind or to hear him/her inwardly. No matter how standardized the interpretation of classical music is, and no matter how many coordinates have been fixed and defined, I do not want to have them seen (and therewith the notation) as determining and limiting signs, but rather as guideposts towards the creation of vital, organic music. In differentiated music, two participants are necessary in order for a piece to evolve-- the composer and the musician. Just as there is no one way for a composer to express himself or to notate music, etc., neither is there one way for a musician to read the notation, to interpret, or to live. We find ourselves, for this reason, in a network of meanings, gestures, and signs which have to be fathomed and expanded together. The tone, the breath, the gestures, the dedication, and the potentialities of a musician were also ultimately decisive for the form of this piece. It is music which pushes the expressive and technical possibilities of the instrument to its very limits. It is music in which the musician has to transport the contexts and expression over and above the notation. It was not necessary for me to find a new form for this piece; it is a work which can and should be performed in a ‘normal’ concert situation. I deliberately wanted to integrate the perhaps new and unusual content into a familiar form (thus the title ‘Sonata’) And I also wanted to embed the aforementioned extreme situations (in which the technical extremes are synonyms for tension, isolation, loss or tenderness) in an organic process in order for the listener to be able to empathize with and comprehend what is expressed in the piece. I would like to thank Natalie Clein, to whom the Sonata is dedicated, for inspiring this piece and for the path that led to the realization of the music. Thomas Larcher/ Répertoire / Violoncelle
