Par VAN DER PALS LEOPOLD. Two pieces for cello and piano, Op. 240 (1960) composed by Leopold van der Pals / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano

Cello and Piano. Par SQUIRE WILLIAM HENRY. William Henry Squire's Gondoliera for cello and piano evokes the dreamy magic of Venice and the barcarolles of Chopin, Fauré, Liszt and Mendelssohn. Performers and audiences who enjoy the three 'Venetian gondola songs' in Mendelssohn's Lieder ohne Worte will certainly derive pleasure from Squire's illustration of the watery half-light of the lagoon at dusk or daybreak and the chiarascuoro of a contrasting, brighter middle section in G major. Though not challenged technically beyond an intermediate level of difficulty of around Grade 6, cellists ideally must project the melody with truly vocal poise and bel canto spirit in this short work that is a real treasure for amateur and professional players alike./ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano

Haydn’s Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra in C major (Hob. VIIb:1) was probably composed between 1762 and 1765 when he was already director of music to Prince Esterh zy. It may have been writtenfor the cellist in the court Orchestra Joseph Weigl (1740-1820) for whom Haydn most likely also wrote the solo Cello parts in his early symphonies. Weigl was a member of the Esterh zy ensemble from 1761 to 1769 andthereafter served as a principle cellist in various Viennese ensembles.The concerto was rediscovered by Oldrich Pulkert who in 1961 found an eighteenth-century manuscript copy (Prag National Museum Fonds Radenin) andpublished the concerto in 1962. Previously the existence of this piece was known only through Haydn’s entry in his private list of works (the so-called ‘Entwurf’ [‘draft’] catalogue).The Orchestral setting ismodest: besides the Strings (with a non-obligato Bassoon doubling the Bass part) there are two Oboes and two Horns which are reserved almost exclusively for the tutti passages.This Piano reduction is based on the text givenin the complete edition of Haydn’s works as edited by the Joseph Haydn Institute Cologne (Joseph Haydn Werke Series III Vol.2 with Preface and Critical Report published by G. Henle Verlag Munich 1981). The Cello partin the Piano reduction is identical to that of the complete edition and thus follows the Prague source as closely as possible even in the expression marks and in certain peculiarities of notation.

Immediately after finishing his second Violin Sonata op. 108 Fauré started work on a sonata for Cello and Piano in early 1917 thus realising a long-conceived plan. In their predisposition and attitude both works are very closely related. In the Cello sonata a sombre dramatic opening movement is also followed by a calm relaxed slow middle movement and a graceful finale. The critical response to the first performances was subdued but on account of increasing interest in Fauré?s complete late chamber music this sonata has recently been rediscovered as a substantial part of his oeuvre. The Henle Urtext edition constitutes the first criticaledition of this work. David Geringas a master of his craft supplied the markings in the Cello part.

'Apart from the piano the cello is my favourite instrument. I taught myself how to play it while still at school then took lessons with John Snowdon when I was a student at the R.C.M.. I had to give the cello up to concentrate on other things but my love for the instrument lingered on and in the past few years I have written works for two four and eight cellos so it seemed logical to write something for one hence this Sonatina! The dedication is to Naomi Butterworth who has championed my cello music and given many performances of it.'Bryan Kelly
