Continuation...

This episode picks up from the previous one, Ep. 45, The Introduction to the 18th C. from The Violoncello and Its History, by Joseph Wasielewski. (Although dated as far as writing style is concerned, it is an incredible source for anyone interesting in expanding their knowledge about cello history and getting to know more cello music. It is a well-written book and I recommend it to all.)

ITALY is the country in question. With it come some interesting characters, including Gabrieli, Cervetto, one cellist named Ferrari, and of course Boccherini. We also hear about the introducing of Thumb Position into cello playing as well as what instrument Bach wrote his famous Six Suites for solo violoncello for.

Please join in on the nearly hour long journey of the first unambiguous look at cello playing.
