Stradivarius cello slid off the table during a photo shoot. The Stradivarius had decided to be auctioned off at a sale soon after, for the price of 20 million dollars. Experts were handing the Stradivarius, but no one foretold this tragedy. Out of approximately fifty cellos made by Stradivari that exist today, this cello happened to be incredibly rare. And that cello that they dropped….it’s now Baroque. In any case, the unfortunate soul who dropped it is in serious treble. At 450 years old, the cello can

Concerto for Violin and Cello, Op.102 (Brahms, Johannes) First movement - Allegro. The concert begins with an orchestral “tutti” of four measures that outlines the eventual main theme of the movement; the cello collects the last three notes and launches forward in an impassive and unaccompanied recitative, but at the right time, as indicated. The wooden instruments gently present the second motif (in major key), which is taken by the violins, who in turn develop it in the form of a rhapsody before

second concert report I chose to listen to Michael Warrick’s cello recital. Throughout his last two pieces he was accompanied by pianist. The first concert that I went to was Kristine Mezines Non-Degree Piano Recital. During her performance she played piano alone on stage the entire session and was only accompanied by a page turner. These two concerts were vastly different, their tones and styles were opposites, and clearly the piano and cello have many differences in their sound. As far as the basic

The first piece consisted of piano, violin, and cello. In each of the movements, there were different musical contexts and styles that

I stared out at the sunset from my post of land in the woods. The bleeding of reds, oranges, and pinks together perfectly reflected onto the shimmering lake. My stomach ached, but the taste of beauty made the pain somewhat bearable. This past summer, I went on a La Vida trip, where I was required to do a solo experience, where I was denied food and social interactions for two days. Fasting was proven to be difficult, but it was through that experience that I began to understand the concept of giving
