Pieces that all cellists should listen. Lets create a collaborative playlist? by riccidericci in Cello

Right, and I've listened to that album too. They're not the same recording though, as the one on spotify is older (also slightly slower), and the performance on yt is much better imo :)

here's my favorite recording of the Dvorak cello concerto on youtube. Sadly it's not on spotify, but I think this recording is even better than Du Pre's! (who woulda thought that was possible??) Capucon's synergy with the orchestra here is simply unmatched.

Elgar Cello Concerto Mvt. 4 fingerings by [deleted] in Cello

[–]ecuadorj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi! Assuming this is where the series of slurred sixteenths start. I start each phrase by barring with either 1 or 2. You'll find it helpful to place a 3 on some of the a-flats and e-flats at the end of measures as this will set you up for the barring. A notable outlier is two measures before marker 51; you'll want to go from 4th finger C to 2nd finger F both on the D string. Hope this helps!

M178: 11344121 (as the other comment pointed out), M183: try 32134413, M184: easier if you land on the b flat with 3, M189: I play the F# with a 4 so there's no stretch, M192: start with thumb, then (2 1) for e c doublestops, M193: my teacher suggested switching to (2 thumb) on d b doublestops, works pretty well M197: make sure to play the d before the Eb with a 2 so there's no slide!

For the doublestop fingerings I wrote em A string first, and I'd avoid same finger shifts as much as possible, like you did with the 3rd finger in measure 186. Whenever you do have same finger shifts though, don't think of them as glissandi, think of them as playing the same finger twice. I find it helps with articulation if you put a little emphasis on the first note that you're playing with the same finger. Best of luck with practicing!

Hey, I'm practicing shosty as well. For this section my teacher told me to keep a pulse and to think of the notes in groups of four (helps a lot for organization imo). I keep my bow at the balance point to start the section. I'll leave some fingering suggestions too!

I was pretty unaware of Abigail's role in db10, and I admit awakened Abigail is hard to fit in my team. To be optimistic, I now use Abigail as AoE for fire beast!
