64. SPECIAL EPISODE: No. 3 A Journey in German-Learning, Musik auf Deutsch "Die vier Saiten" und "Der lange Strich"

Hermann Heberlein, Op. 7 Schule für Cello; für Selbst Unterricht (Self Instructor for Cello)

The special series of episodes (#61-64) are all about my desire to learn more words about me teaching ONE native german speaker.

Of course, I'd like to teach this student in German but I am not adequately equipped with the musical vocabulary to do so very effectively. So, the real purpose of this special series is about learning that musical terminology and also being able to speak just a little bit better.

The idea came from the fact that I don't have any opportunity to just talk with native speakers much less to native german speakers who also play the cello. So, I thought, why not make myself twice as uncomfortable as I am right now (I'm very nervous about speaking German in lessons) and put up my learnings online for everyone to tune if they should discover my podcast.

This particular episode is not too long and contains only one short musical example; four notes to be precise (although I play them several times).

There are musical selections throughout the episode. They are exclusively duets from Heberlein's "Self Instructor" from which all readings are taken.
