The Violoncello and Its History

by Joseph Wasielewski

The introduction to this nearly 300 page book spans 40+ pages while setting the stage for the cello. In it, Wasielewski talks mostly about the instrument which arguably, the cello is loosely modeled after, that is, the Viola da Gamba. Although, not every piece I feature in this episode is forgotten (Marias' "Folia", Dowland's "Pavan", Corelli's "Giga"), the history leading up to the cello and the early portions of its history are easily passed over for more current, exciting, even tangible events. 

This episode is rather a mish-mash of ideas, information, and opinions. I am not the best expresser of information nor do I communicate effectively or in interesting ways. Yet, this sort of research and production always holds a place of intrigue and special interest for me. It is likely that I will continue on with The Violoncello and Its History accompanied with recordings (mostly, at least) by neglected composers and forgotten works. 

If there is any music you would enjoy hearing from the 18th Century send me a message and I'll see what I can do to bring that to fruition. :)

To help me out without spending any extra money simply listen to all my episodes. Thanks so much.
