Par JOUBERT CLAUDE-HENRY. Le premier volume de cette méthode s'adressait aux élèves débutants - ce deuxième volume est destiné aux élèves à partir du milieu du 1er cycle. Il est divisé en 14 'grandes leçons'. Chaque leçon peut faire l'objet d'un travail d'au moins deux semaines... La leçon 13 (variations de Mozart) peut être utilisée comme une sorte de recueil d'études. Les grandes difficultés solfégiques qu'elle présente ne sont pas fortuites. Il semble indispensable que la découverte de nouveaux rythmes et de nouvelles écritures (les ornements par exemple) s'effectue au sein de la classe d'instrument, découverte portée par des textes de la plus grande qualité (Mozart...). Cette remarque s'applique également à la Siciliana de Haendel ou au Concerto per flautino de Vivaldi. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est d'enseigner à chaque élève une méthode de travail. Les quatre pages qui composent chaque leçon obéissent à une construction logique que l'auteur a cherché à rendre perceptible. Tous les doigtés ne sont pas indiqués - apprendre à trouver de bons doigtés est une formation indispensable dès le début des études instrumentales. L'invention est un fil conducteur important de cette méthode. Redisons-le : il ne s'agit pas de récréation, mais d'un élément fort et fondateur de l'éducation musicale et technique d'un violoncelliste. Ainsi chaque leçon propose : - un prélude, dont il faut inventer tout ou partie, - un exercice d'invention. On trouvera quelques conseils destinés aux élèves, sur les coups d'archet, les doigtés, les démanchés, etc. - ils ne peuvent en aucun cas remplacer ceux du professeur... On a préféré commencer par l'extension arrière du premier doigt, plus aisée, peut-être, que l'extension avant pour laquelle toute la main est sollicitée. Mais le professeur pourrait inverser les leçons 2 et 3... Un grand merci à Sébastien Robert qui enseigne le violoncelle au Conservatoire du Pays de Montbéliard et dirige l'Académie musicale de Lunéville. Il a relu ces pages, exprimé d'utiles appréciations, proposé de bons doigtés, et donné à l'auteur de très précieux conseils. / méthode - études / Méthode / Violoncelle

Written for Moray Welsh whilst still an undergraduate at York University. This piece was completed in mid-September. Inspired by Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf. A solo 'cello seemed an appropriate medium for music which might explore the character of Harry Haller with his desire for bourgeois comfort and his strong misanthropic and suicidal tendencies. The opening theme attempts to express this - melancholy nostalgic a bit Biedermeyer (cf. Brahms Intermezzi). The basic theme of the book at its simplest is that every human personality consists of hundred of different personalities - within every man there lurks a wolf. Accordingly the tendency of my piece is for allits musical material to become distorted either by thematic transformation or by changes of timbre. There are three movements played without a break. The first is a character portrait of the Steppenwolf. The second is concerned in the most general sort of way with the dance elements in the novel - Harry's being taught to dance and appreciate low 'popular' music - a tango is recapitulated in a waltz and 'Yearning' a popular song of the time (1927) is hinted at. The third movement concerns the Masked Ball and the Magic Theatre. Mozart is one of Hesse's great loves and he is repeatedly mentioned in the book. Inevitably some Mozart quotes have been worked in the most significant being a reference to The Magic Flute 'fire and water' flute theme in the middle of the second movement. Long before I finished the piece I was disenchanted with the work of Hesse. Much of Steppenwolf I now find rather embarrassing and the claims currently made for Hesse's greatness seem to me exaggerated. Since my piece is in no important sense programmatically specific this change of heart doesn't really matter.© David Blake

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. In this two-volume edition of Bach’s cello suites, Andrew Talle now presents an entirely new view of the relationships between existing sources. The first volume contains the edited musical text, which comes as close to the composer’s original intention as the surviving source material allows: “This edition does not constitute a perfect reconstruction of the lost autograph; that is something no editor could claim to accomplish. Instead, I have attempted to supply musicians and researchers with a reliable version of the surviving musical text of the six cello suites, and to convey a sense of the many possibilities Bach encouraged his musicians to explore.”The second volume presents, for the first time, synoptically arranged facsimiles of the handwritten sources as well as the first print (with Suite No. V also including Bach’s own arrangement for lute), allowing readers to compare any specific section in all sources at one glance. This allows for a straightforward and immediate consideration of all sources, making editorial decisions transparent and self-evident. Andrew Talle’s edition is supplemented by a comprehensive discussion of the instrument for which the suites were created, as well as information regarding musical interpretation during Bach’s time./ Répertoire / Violoncelle

The composer Patrick Burgan and the giant of French music Henri Dutilleux formed real elective affinities with each other. Dutilleux never missed an oppor­tunity to mention the high esteem in which he held the younger musician’s work. Dedicated to the memory of Henri Dutilleux Songe À La Douceur takes its title from the 2nd verse of 'L’Invitation au Voyage' from the 'Fleurs du mal' by Baudelaire – a poet who was a constant source of inspiration for Dutilleux.    Burgan invites listeners to explore the musical universe of the French master: the numerous quotations of his work duly flagged in the score form a superb constellation that stretches from the Mystère de l’Instant to the Deuxième Symphonie via the quartet Ainsi la nuit Métaboles and the concerto for cello Tout un monde lointain. Reflecting L’Invitation au Voyage the composer follows the principle of verse and refrain and the hypnotic return of the soft chords in pizzicato echoes the famous lines: “Là tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté / Luxe calme et volupté”. This tribute in the form of a delicate alchemy combines sparkle sweetness and spirit.
