One of Tcherepnin?s favourite instruments was the cello for which he wrote about ten works (for example the Georgian Rhapsody other works for violoncello and orchestra and several ensemble and solo pieces). He worked together with cellists such as Paul Grümmer Paul Tortelier Pierre Fournier and Gregor Piatigorsky and for this reason his cello works seem to be especially well suited to the instrument. Although Tcherepnin liked to point out the similarity between the cello and a baritone voice he always did justice to the whole range of the instrument even in the highest thumb positions. Georgian Tatar Russian and Kazakh folk music provided the inspiration for Songsand Dances op. 84.

Russian-born composer pianist and conductor Alexander Tcherepnin was particularly known for his cosmopolitan style that included influences from France and the Far East. This piece composed in 1932 is no exception and provides a lively and challenging addition to conventional repertoire.

The Twelve Preludes (Chicago 1952-53) show with vivid clarity the many-sided expressive genius of their composer. Each prelude is a musical entity each has its own 'raison d'être' its own musical message. Taken as a whole the twelve form a work with an exhaustive range of expression running the complete gamut of musical ideas ideas which are in the words of Alfred Frankenstein referring to these pieces pungent lyrical and musico-philosophic. All of the preludes are built in various compositional forms some in 'strict' form others in a free unbounded or through composed form. Throughout the twelve pieces are found numerous clever uses of stylistic rhythmic patterns anddevices which characterize Tcherepnin's music. The pieces stem from the period of Tcherepnin's composition which is designated by many as his neo-romantic period and are rich in singing melodic lyricism yet they are in essence fresh and completely 'contemporary' in style and content.
