Description
As suggested by the title, this short suite is an ideal recital piece for the developing cellist. It features various essential techniques and consists of three short movements. The first, entitled Raindrops, is a lively character study which features string crossings as an important technical element. Latin Serenade is a medium-tempo waltz which alternates between rhythmic pizzicato riffs and a lyrical arco melody. The final movement, Country Dance, is a romping 6/8 toe-tapper which highlights the player’s ability to convey different articulations, dynamics, and bow control. The middle section features pizzicato triple stops. This work was recorded by Wesley Baldwin on Albany Records. Total performance time is approximately 9 minutes.
