Songs Like Cello Singing
Brahms wrote the Sonata in E minor for instruments close to his heart, i.e., piano and cello. At the premiere, the composer played very loudly, and when the cellist, a talented amateur, remarked to him, he replied: "lucky for you". Such a cover-up will not be necessary during the Katowice concert by the young virtuosos; we will be able to focus on the breathtaking dramatic nature of this work, which culminates in a fugal finale based on Contrapunctus 13 from Bach's Kunst der Fuge.
Nadia Boulanger stopped composing after the untimely death of her sister Lili, whom she considered more talented than herself. Although, as a pedagogue, she later educated a considerable group of composers of the neo-classical movement, her music can also bring to mind the work of Debussy. In Three Pieces, we find a masterful combination of these tendencies. Sally Beamish enjoys singing the cello, so we can expect a new song for this instrument.
