Produktbeschreibung

Gaspar Cassadó (1897-1966) was one of the greatest cello virtuosi of the twentieth century and a notable composer and arranger. Gabrielle Kaufman provides the first full-length scholarly work dedicated to him, containing the results of seven years of research, following the cellist's steps through Europe and Japan. Cassadó's role within the evolution of twentieth-century cello performance is thoroughly examined, including a discussion regarding musical and technical aspects of performing Cassadó's works, aimed directly at performers. In addition, the composer's significance within Spanish twentieth-century music is treated in detail, sustained by examples from recovered score manuscripts.
