Titre : | The secret life of cello strings: Harmonics for cellists | Type de document : | texte imprimé | Auteurs : | R. Caroline Bosanquet, Auteur | Mention d'édition : | SJ U1996-3 | Editeur : | SJ Music | Année de publication : | cop. 1996 | Importance : | 1 partition (42 p.) | Format : | 21 x 30 cm | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-0-952820-20-8 | Note générale : | Harmonics: even professional players often have difficulty knowing exactly where harmonics are to be found on the instrument. Shortly before she died, Joan Dickson, Professor of cello at the Royal College of Music in London, and a friend of the author, remarked, “I am so glad that you are writing a book about harmonics. I hope it is published soon because I never understood them!” How exactly do they work? – not something that most cello teachers explain to their pupils for the simple reason that most don’t understand them themselves. So here’s the answer: an easily accessible book, for students, teachers and professionals, demystifying the science and maths that lie behind the wonderful world of harmonics. | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | Catégories : | Harmonie Méthodes Violoncelle
| Résumé : | In 1996 Bosanquet published "The Secret Life of Cello Strings: Harmonics for Cellists", a method book designed to aid cellists in playing harmonics. In the introduction, Bosanquet stated that she was intrigued by the appearance of harmonics in places such as “the ethereal notes at the end of Bruch’s Kol Nidrei, the bell-like pentatonic notes in Dvorak’s Cello Concerto, the spectacular leaps in the second movement of Elgar’s Cello Concerto, the glissando harmonics in Shostakovich’s Cello Sonata, the march in Britten’s Cello Sonata and the magical sound of four-part cellos playing high-stopped harmonics in Arvo Pärt’s Fratres; glissando stopped harmonics in the March of Britten's cello sonata; and sudden changes of pitch and colour on single notes in Webern's Three Pieces.” She took a logical and scientific approach to categorising the possible harmonics on the cello, possibly inspired by her father's related work in the field of Fourier transforms. The book guides the player progressively through the different harmonics that can be played, including maps of the nodes of the cello string | Instruments : | Violoncelle |
