[wigglerthefish]

If only I could play like this....

[loppezjo]

Is this a baroque piece? It sounds very nice.

[c1trax]

Remek!

[rurun]

I wish I lived in these era......

[jeffbrak]

@rurun Unfortunately, if you were apart of the lower caste you wouldn't hear a note of it.

[BlanFan2O]

@rurun It would have been nice to live in that time if you were a musician or were wealthy.

@rurun

You would've spent your whole life in toil or back-breaking labor if you weren't of the aristocratic class. So be thankful you live in a more egalitarian era.

[MrChristophSteininge]

An exponent of the viennese pre-classicists. Along with Wagenseil and Starzer he shows to be a counterpoint to the mannheim school. Unfortunately he died in his 33. year.

Great !

So refreshing to listen to a wonderful cello concerto which is less well known !

There is also a nice Monn "Symphony in B-flat Major" posted by the aptly-named user "animeviolalord"

...if you are interested in either of these...

[isitvalottioryoung1]

@supiluliumas15

Is it, by chance, possible that some of the performances you've heard have been, themselves, the source of the mediocrity? (In much the same way that there are a great deal of distractingly uncharacteristic performances which can ruin the Sinfonias of Emanuel Bach...)

For me, Monn has always been almost a half-way point between Emanuel Bach and Xavier Richter...

User "Meyerbeer1" has kindly posted an acceptable performance of a "Sinfonia in G-major" you might search for...

kool beanzzz!!!!!

[AytidaRed]

I like the chromaticism in the ritornello. It's not very typical and it adds an interesting flavour. It's beautifully written and suits the cello perfectly.

[Lcaspia]

why this picture? ;)

[fat0stupid0depressed]

there's manure w/ a flower growing on it

Monn sounds like manure

[Garpinator]

@Lcaspia

To see your response ;)

[CicadaKillerMan]

Du Pre is an AMAZING cello player, but she totally plays baroque pieces in the completely opposite style...

[PINHAS38]

Thank you for this beautiful music and for the informations on Monn!

[sjmh280491]

Score of the Orchestra?? Please!!

[64ACA]

Beautifull

[gustavs9]

really gracious

[JanaCello]

I love this concerto!it's a bit faster then other versions(Du pre for exemple), but it's interesting that way! but i don't know why in the Cello repertoire we give importance to Haydn concertos(it deserves all importance !), but this one is less played ....

[aamish911]

i played thios concerto at du pre's speed and loved it. haha cuz Haydn C major is AMAZING!

[artabanes]

There is a recording of this concerto with Jian Wang on Deutsche Grammophon, which is a bit slower, played more into the string and solid, the harpsicord a bit more sticky, I like that one. But always interesting to hear different recordings.

Not sure Monn was so much on the way to the classical period, he died in the same year as JSBach and this concerto's first movement follows a typical Vivaldian cycle through a number of keys: g, Bflat, c, Eflat, d, g

Thanks for posting , Harmonico.

[xxloveologyxx]

:D we're playing this in my orchestra

[perronid]

do you have the score?

[xxloveologyxx]

:S no sorry just the second violin part

[TonitheTater]

If you haven't found it yet, google "Petrucci Music Library".

The score should be there, on that website (a wiki-based compilation of free sheet music).

[golemdigomma]
