I composed this piece for AS music. The brief was to compose a piece on the theme of love, using any text. Finale PrintMusic 2008 - [Sonnet 130].pdf Sonnet 130.MUS

I think in should all be pizzicato, but It might be difficult to do that fast. However, it could be done with a plectrum, which could be quite a cool thing to specify on the score. Also, I think the last note (played by the double bass) should be played by the solo cello pizzicato.

Too much parelell motion.

Elgar Cello Concerto. I hate it. It's rubbish. And i'm a cellist, so it's apparantly a crime!

The double stopping is quite simple. The "A" is an open string, so it can all be done in first position, and only requires one fretted finger. I'm not sure i like the tritone between the tritone between the Eb and A in bar 33 etc, but I wanted to keep the dominant pedal note going all the way through, although, at this point, it is in F major, so it's technically not a dominant pedal note. Anythoughts?

It's not strictly a canon because of the A# in bar 23. It sounds petty, but one of the challenges of canon is modulation, and you have cheated a bit. But otherwise, it is very nice.

Written for student cellists, to be accompanied by their teacher on Piano, or a second cello. The Dream.MUS The Journey.MUS Nocturne.MUS Finale PrintMusic 2008 - [The Dream.pdf Finale PrintMusic 2008 - [The Journey.pdf Finale PrintMusic 2008 - [Nocturne.pdf
