@SystemicMusicality she had 2 stradivarius the 1673 the "du pre " and the 1712 davidov. she performed with the 1673 from 1961-1964 from then on with the davidov
HEY!! does any one know the name of this song???? I've been trying to play it by ear and I'm almost done but, people have been asking what its called but i don't know.

@cellomad1 You gave an answer for a question I didn´t ask, you didn´t get the question genius... And yeah, that's my problem, so why is that bothering you so hard? And you know what? To give attention to somethin' is not considered on the meaning of "follow" [that's according to dictionary DOTcom] so, you base your answer in a definition created by you? If you cannot back up what you say you ain't sh!t...
It's as if the cello has a voice of its own. Quite different from any other cello player I've listened to. Whether I watch her, or not, I have that feeling. Awesome.
Someone wrote that Barenboim watched her jealously when she played the piano, yes I can believe that! It was both good for her to have been with him, and bad. Good for her career, bad for her personal life. Virtuosos are usually egocentric. ;)
@Zopilote LOL Actually, she was an outstanding pianist as well. I saw a video of her playing and her husband, Barenboim, was sitting next to her looking jealous. She was an incredible talent, RIP.
@cellomad1 Do you know the meaning of the word "follow" ? As far as I know that's not a synonym for "mock of", "denounce" [Which is: to give formal notice of the denial of ] or "laugh at"...
@cellomad1 How can I obey it when that's not an order? How can I pursue it if that's not a goal? I gave it a little attention, yes. How can I go or come after that comment if that's not an ideal? That's a stupid comment [Zopilote's one], period, if you got bothered by that it's maybe because you felt like I was talking to you, stupid.
@OverhumanSV That's right, you gave it some attention, which means you followed it. If you weren't following it, you would never have replied to it in the first place.
Take your humorless attitude and shove it. Also, take some Midol. It will help you feel better.
@cellomad1 hahaha since when "give attention to something" is following it? You didn't answer any one of my questions cellomad1...are you avoiding to answer them? How can I obey it when that's not an order? How can I pursue it if that's not a goal? How can I go or come after that comment if that's not an ideal? Everybody deserves a second chance, try to answer and convince instead of recommend me some medication doctor...hahaha [You got 5 questions to answer now]
@OverhumanSV I only put up those definitions for Follow to help educate you on its meaning. However, number 3: To keep one's attention fixed on, does apply to you. You even admitted that you gave it some attention. How is giving attention to something following it? It's right there in the definition of Follow: TO KEEP ONE'S ATTENTION FIXED ON. Got it, genius? If you don't like Zopilote's comment, that's your problem. I think he was just attesting to du Pre's incredible talent in a humorous way.
It makes me kind of depressed when i think about how, not only such talent was abruptly cut short, but also that she can't know about all the people now, who give her such praise, and even claim to be inspired by her. I'm sure she would be incredibly happy if she knew how many people appreciate her wonderful music, even today so many years later.
This girl named nina played this and she was 10 and I was like " YOU WERE GREAT" and she was like " Okay bye." and then she ran to her mom :((( i'm not a creep!
Why are you guys insulting her interpretation? If you don't appreciate her style of playing then don't waste your breath arguing about how you don't like her; none of us want to hear that.
Simply and clearly the best cellist ever. Her playing style is undoubtely personal, her passionate intensity so strong that sometimes, for today's ears, can apparently overshadow composer's intentions... but we have not to forget that her activity was (sadly) limited to sixties and beginning of seventies. And, of course, that she was a VER YOUNG player... her recordings took place before her 26th birthday, just imagine what she could've achieved if she could've played, for instance, till 50 y/o.
@fitzay32 wow you have no idea what you are talking about. It must be very easy for a random person such as yourself to log in and totally insult one of the most prolific and emotional cellists of all time. What have you done? What have you accomplished in the world of classical music? Do you have a Doctoral Degree in Musical composition? How about in Music Performance? Don't interpret that which you do not comprehend.
@raven35 i have actually played this piece myself thank you very much, and as a matter of fact i am studying music performance. du Pre has no respect for the style of the composer of the piece she is playing, her bach music is quite frankly the same as her Elgar or her saint-seans. Yes she plays very passionately and with much emotion, but she has only one speed you could say which is 100 miles an hour, so as a consequence her music sounds very similar to say the least across all styles
@fitzay32 Actually, although I agree with you in that she plays most of the repertoire in the same manner, I have also played this piece, and this particular recording is in a reasonable style for this composer. To assume that only your "correct" adaptation is "right" is unnecessary. To add to that, Du pre understood music more than you or I (or possibly anyone) ever will, and her interpretation was her right to expression.
@fitzay32 You must be either deaf or have no knowledge in music to say that. Even tho you might have played this piece before, but you certainly will never, ever get close to her level of interpretation... "everything she plays si played the same way" How in hell can you be a musician and say this after listenning to the few videos of her on youtube?... "She has one speed" WHAAAT?! You're a cellist and you disrespect du pré?! What a dumb joke, what would u think of rostropovich speeding up?! sad
@TehStupidBish You cannot define what a good or right interpretation is. Music cannot so simply be exemplified by one persons playing style or analysis. Music is different for each person. All you people are sheep who rather than create you're own feeling and emotion through music you rely on someone else's, who may i say is an incredible cellist, however she did often did not follow the style. She treated say Romantic music and Baroque music the same when they are totally different
@TehStupidBish how could you say she her style was the same ? have to listened to all or her works. personally she is my favorite cellist ever. she understand music better then anyone could. and for being a cello player, this is amazing. the absolute best cellist in every way., but you are very wrong on your statements i'm sorry. you can creat you own emotion and creativity, but it has to be within a range, but it cant be too different or changed. it will sound hoarse or way to unrealistic.
Je suis d' accord avec toi, le violoncelle de Jacqueline du Pré est emplie d' une profondeur et d' une âme que je n' ai jamais entendu ailleurs. Paix à son âme.
Le sort de cette artiste m'a profondément touchée: bien sûr, elle a trouvé son âme-soeur, Daniel Barenboim, et je suis sûre que les deux vivaient une époque en parfaite harmonie - jusqu'au moment où cette jeune femme a appris d'être atteinte par une maladie mortelle. Et il ne lui restaient que 14 ans jusqu'à sa mort précoce. C'est pourquoi j'ai l'impression qu'elle jouait avec tout son coeur, tout son corps et son âme parce qu'elle "flairait" qu'il ne lui resterait pas beaucoup de temps. Hélas!
How is it that the majority of comments here are about rather or not this is a solo, rather than about the incredible skill, passion, and emotion with which this woman plays? This performance is incredible and moving - who cares about the semantics of the word 'solo'?
@RedSkittles0304 : Well, the notes are not that hard - but to play it like that is. There is more to music than just playing the written notes. You "mastered" it? Cool. Load it up.
It is NOT a duet, it is a solo, as stated, with piano accompaniment. Many instrumental solos have piano accompaniment if that was the composer's intention. All the comments complaining that this is not a solo are an annoying distraction. Do you go to see a soloist with a symphony and stand up and complain that they are not a soloist?
@MissMeowsic Great argument but "soloist with a symphony" ; that is actually not considered a solo, it's called a "concerto". Look in the related videos, "Yo-Yo Ma: Elgar Cello Concerto, 1st mvmt" - That is an example of a concerto.
@CallOFDutyMVP666 It does depend on what the arrangement includes, but if you were to look at the actual sheet music, it usually indicates which part is solo, and the rest is considered accompaniment. As a pianist I accompany clarinet, trumpet, cello, viola solos, etc. all the time. It just means most of the time the solo part carries most of the melody and is more prevalent. In this particular piece it is obvious that the cello part is out front.

@Cocoaplata An accompaniment is more or less an extra part written to provide chords or depth to the music and a duet is where two players share the melody and have similar or alternating parts. Pretty much an accompaniment is boring and is just there for back up whereas a duet is like a solo shared between players.
@Cocoaplata i'm gonna do my best to explain in english :P
Basicly, the accompaniment isn't a part of the melody, it's an acompaniment, nothing more, it adds to the song without defining it. in a duet, both of the musicians are called to play a song that would have no meaning without the other part. :x
@MissMeowsic I have to agree. People shouldn't be so offended when someone calls something "accompaniment." Just because the piano is accompanying the cello, doesn't mean it's not important. But no matter how hard you argue it IS accompaniment people, this is not a duet.
@MissMeowsic You are so utterly wrong I can't believe how many likes you have! Brahms himself claimed that his violin sonatas were sonatas for piano with a little violin. Please, General Public, don't be confused, piano may be 'accompaniment,' but really in many works are as important and more important than the solo instrument - mainly due to the fact most composers played the piano extrodinary well.
@wagneristhebest that just means Brahms' sonatas are an exception to the rule and it's a violin accompaniment I should think, there's no use getting mad about it- just enjoy the music for crying out loud!!
she's melted into her music..like being in one soul!

To add to that, Du pre understood music more than you or I (or possibly anyone) ever will, and her interpretation was her right to expression.

@fitzay32 You must be either deaf or have no knowledge in music to say that. Even tho you might have played this piece before, but you certainly will never, ever get close to her level of interpretation... "everything she plays si played the same way" How in hell can you be a musician and say this after listenning to the few videos of her on youtube?... "She has one speed" WHAAAT?! You're a cellist and you disrespect du pré?! What a dumb joke, what would u think of rostropovich speeding up?! sad

@TehStupidBish You cannot define what a good or right interpretation is. Music cannot so simply be exemplified by one persons playing style or analysis. Music is different for each person. All you people are sheep who rather than create you're own feeling and emotion through music you rely on someone else's, who may i say is an incredible cellist, however she did often did not follow the style. She treated say Romantic music and Baroque music the same when they are totally different

@TehStupidBish how could you say she her style was the same ? have to listened to all or her works. personally she is my favorite cellist ever. she understand music better then anyone could. and for being a cello player, this is amazing. the absolute best cellist in every way., but you are very wrong on your statements i'm sorry. you can creat you own emotion and creativity, but it has to be within a range, but it cant be too different or changed. it will sound hoarse or way to unrealistic.

Le sort de cette artiste m'a profondément touchée: bien sûr, elle a trouvé son âme-soeur, Daniel Barenboim, et je suis sûre que les deux vivaient une époque en parfaite harmonie - jusqu'au moment où cette jeune femme a appris d'être atteinte par une maladie mortelle. Et il ne lui restaient que 14 ans jusqu'à sa mort précoce. C'est pourquoi j'ai l'impression qu'elle jouait avec tout son coeur, tout son corps et son âme parce qu'elle "flairait" qu'il ne lui resterait pas beaucoup de temps. Hélas!

How is it that the majority of comments here are about rather or not this is a solo, rather than about the incredible skill, passion, and emotion with which this woman plays? This performance is incredible and moving - who cares about the semantics of the word 'solo'?

Sarahx30STM 9 months ago
It is NOT a duet, it is a solo, as stated, with piano accompaniment. Many instrumental solos have piano accompaniment if that was the composer's intention. All the comments complaining that this is not a solo are an annoying distraction. Do you go to see a soloist with a symphony and stand up and complain that they are not a soloist?
MissMeowsic 9 months ago 125
@MissMeowsic Great argument but "soloist with a symphony" ; that is actually not considered a solo, it's called a "concerto". Look in the related videos, "Yo-Yo Ma: Elgar Cello Concerto, 1st mvmt" - That is an example of a concerto.

@CallOFDutyMVP666 It does depend on what the arrangement includes, but if you were to look at the actual sheet music, it usually indicates which part is solo, and the rest is considered accompaniment. As a pianist I accompany clarinet, trumpet, cello, viola solos, etc. all the time. It just means most of the time the solo part carries most of the melody and is more prevalent. In this particular piece it is obvious that the cello part is out front.

So what's the difference between a solo with accompaniment and a duet?
(not being sarcastic I just don't know)
Cocoaplata 8 months ago
@Cocoaplata An accompaniment is more or less an extra part written to provide chords or depth to the music and a duet is where two players share the melody and have similar or alternating parts. Pretty much an accompaniment is boring and is just there for back up whereas a duet is like a solo shared between players.

@Cocoaplata i'm gonna do my best to explain in english :P
Basicly, the accompaniment isn't a part of the melody, it's an acompaniment, nothing more, it adds to the song without defining it. in a duet, both of the musicians are called to play a song that would have no meaning without the other part. :x
TehStupidBish 8 months ago
@MissMeowsic I have to agree. People shouldn't be so offended when someone calls something "accompaniment." Just because the piano is accompanying the cello, doesn't mean it's not important. But no matter how hard you argue it IS accompaniment people, this is not a duet.

@MissMeowsic You are so utterly wrong I can't believe how many likes you have! Brahms himself claimed that his violin sonatas were sonatas for piano with a little violin. Please, General Public, don't be confused, piano may be 'accompaniment,' but really in many works are as important and more important than the solo instrument - mainly due to the fact most composers played the piano extrodinary well.

@wagneristhebest that just means Brahms' sonatas are an exception to the rule and it's a violin accompaniment I should think, there's no use getting mad about it- just enjoy the music for crying out loud!!
