Since recently it was Mother's Day I thought I would play something related to this. It is a piece by David Popper called "Once Upon More Beautiful Days: In Memory of My Parents". I would like to dedicate it to all mothers that might be watching.

In this episode I play another piece by David Popper. It is called a Tarantella. This type of dance comes from southern Italy. It is danced by couples and I think it is still played at some weddings to this day. It is fairly energetic, upbeat and I hope it gives you a bit of energy too. I recorded the comments separately because I found it hard to concentrate right after talking.

The music for this episode is a dance written by David Popper. He lived about one hundred years ago and he was fairly well known at the time. He travelled and performed on the cello and also wrote lots of cello music. He must have been a very hardworking person. I think this music is a bit lighter and more fun. It is a dance called a Gavotte.

There are some holidays coming up so I thought I would play something more reflective and thoughtful. This is a dance called an Allamande, also by Bach. I always think of it as being a bit shy at the beginning and more outgoing towards the end.Please e-mail feedback to [email protected]

In this episode I play a slower dance also by Bach. It is called a Sarabande. You can try to imagine someone dancing to it if you like. Please keep the feedback and comments coming. website: cellojourney.come-mail: cellojourney@gmail

This episode I play something dance-like and folk-like. It is also written by Bach. I will probably play more Bach in the future since he wrote so much good music for solo cello. The feedback has been really encouraging and I look forward to more. Thank you for watching.

The music in this episode is The Swan by Camille Saint-Saens. It is more singing in quality. This piece is normally played with a piano. Maybe in some future episodes I will bring other musicians onto the show to play with me. Please stay tuned.

In the first episode I play some Bach and introduce the video podcast. For now I just want to play for people. In the future there may be some slight changes with the format. Please visit cellojourney.com or send me feedback via e-mail to [email protected]
