double stops all the way - DIEZIG: Kodaly Solo Sonata 3/3

Sebastian Diezig plays Zoltán Kodály's Sonata for cello solo.
Live Recording Aarau July 21, 2011.

"Program for that recital was the solo sonatas by Veress and Kodaly, which was a healthy challenge, believe me! I would do it again anytime though :-)

The Veress Solo Sonata is not exactly easy but this Kodaly Sonata is probably the most difficult piece I have learned so far. Anyways, I love to play it because it is great music and playing this kind of stuff keeps me in shape and helps me progress!

So why would I name this video "crazy cello playing"? Well, those who have played the piece know how difficult it is and all the others should give it a read! Double-stops all the time, left-hand pizzicatos at every corner, extremely fast virtuosic passages, all the notes of the cello used from the lowest up to the highest (sometimes at once) and of course this scordatura (the lower two strings need to be tuned down half a step). In addition it's not easy to play by heart because it is quite complicated. But you have no choice as there is no time for page turning. Wouldn't you call it crazy? ;-) "

Can Someone tell me were to get the sheet music for this

[MrCellissimo]

@mendrelljack This is the Sonata op. 8 (1915) for cello solo by Zoltan Kodaly. You can check out the library of your music school or buy/order it at a decent music store. It's a Universal Edition Score. I don't think you can download it for free on the internet because copyright protection should still be active. Best regards, Sebastian
