Hello, does anybody have the sheet for this piece?
-
@TheJstaten1 :D

@MssFlautista lol

I have to admit that is there's anything that especially impresses me about Starker's playing, it's his clarity of tone and how amazingly accurate he is technically.
-
I am a cellist, and at that part it switches between natural (open string) and artificial (using the thumb to change the string length) harmonics. It's a cool effect and he does it really seamlessly and nearly flawlessly. It's a lot of work to be able to play artificial (or false) harmonics well.

@simplythreetrio what about the composer? how can he do that...?

OMStarker..

@simplythreetrio Right on, when i first heard this piece, over a year ago, i initially thought it must be very difficult... but in trying it out i found it was, like you said, in position. sounds hard as shit tho so its great!
-
@zonaras83 Yes, these are harmonics! The harmonics actually fall in easy-to-play positions, so it isn't as difficult as it sounds. Still, he plays it perfectly, which is always impressive!

Ooh, 4 measures! He skipped measure 48, too! (2:11). It seems like he thought the figure was too repetitive, so he just cut it.
Genious, in his own way, like all of the great ones! The cello world NEEDED Starker for us to learn so much from
