The program brings together works that are difficult to imagine today without in the concert repertoire of a cellist. They are regularly performed on stage, included in educational programs, and have become an integral part of the professional tradition. Yet they all share one distinctive feature: none of them was originally written for cello.
Johann Sebastian Bach’s Sonata was written for viola da gamba and harpsichord, Robert Schumann’s Fantasiestücke for clarinet, and César Franck’s Sonata for violin. Over time, these works have become such an organic part of the cello repertoire that today they are perceived almost as if they were “native” to the instrument.
This program invites us to look at these well-known works through the lens of their origins while also exploring how music can transcend the boundaries of the instrument for which it was originally conceived.
