I've spent a long
time on the Bach Suites now. Not in a 'I'm all finished' kind of way, more like
nothing but Bach kind of way, excluding orchestra parts.

So it was with a
craving for something a bit flowery, a bit more dramatic and less measured I
asked Pete for some music reccommendations – and he suggested the Vivaldi cello
sonatas. I've got the Barenreiter edition winging its way to me in the post now.
I still have a bash at the Breval now and again, but it's not holding my
attention. Any other suggestions for me? I'm around a grade four or five level
now.

And apologies for
the blog silence, I was moving house and playing a concert. I've still got the
performance of the Mozart Sinfonia Concertante coming in a couple weeks, and
I've made the leap to focus on that orchestra only, and play only cello next
term. It's causing all sorts of conflicting feelings for me, about losing my
membership to the woodwind club in the back and everything. But I'll expound on that
later. And my lack of a chair to play cello on in the new flat… so I've been
using my accordion box. I'm not sure my accordion is very pleased about
it.

I’ve used a guitar amp as a stool when there’s been a dearth of cello seating. I’m sure your accordion understands.
Which sonata are you thinking of stabbing at?

Well, I bought the Barenreiter book of six, but my friend Pete suggested the E minor one to start… we’ll see what looks good when it arrives.
Yeah, I’m already sick of eating dinner on my knees though – seriously need a kitchen table and a couple chairs!
