💕 🎻 Hoy hablamos de violonchelo. Today speak about cello🎻 ♥️

🇪🇦 EL CELLO, (Instrumentos musicales de cuerda).

El sonido cálido de este instrumento, nacido en Italia en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, lo impuso como solista y lo hizo asumir un papel fundamental en la orquesta.

Es el elemento bajo de la familia del arco. Desde hace mucho tiempo apreciado por sus posibilidades virtuosas, a finales del siglo XIX también se mejoraron sus notables cualidades expresivas.
El violonchelo, nacido en Italia en el siglo XVI, pertenecía a una familia de instrumentos de cuerda hechos con dimensiones variables.
Los primeros violoncelos tenían solo 3 cuerdas y eran más grandes que los actuales; Desde principios del siglo XVIII, el instrumento fue construido y afinado como lo conocemos hoy. Sus dimensiones fueron codificadas por los legendarios luthiers A. Amati y A. Stradivari.

Luigi Boccherini, compositor italiano del siglo XVIII y gran violonchelista, escribió mucho para este instrumento, al igual que Vivaldi y más tarde Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Dvorak, Tchaikosky, Elgar, Strauss, Faure, Prokovief, Sôstakovich, Gubaidulina. , Britten, Berio y varios compositores modernos.

EXTENSIÓN

La C, dos octavas por debajo de la C central (C1) es la nota mas baja. El cello tiene una extensión de al menos cinco octavas (seis, incluidos los sonidos demasiado altos del teclado y los producidos con el uso de armónicos artificiales)

La técnica

El cello se toca sentado. El instrumento se sostiene entre las rodillas, sostenido por una punta. La mano izquierda se usa para digitar, la mano derecha para arcos.
Excluyendo las notas obtenidas con cuerdas vacías, el instrumento se toca presionando las yemas de los dedos en las cuerdas a lo largo del teclado, disminuyendo gradualmente su longitud para reproducir los sonidos más altos.

Puesto habitual en la orquesta

Los violonchelos se colocan anteriormente en la orquesta, a la derecha del conductor.
Están delante de los contrabajos.

QUIZÁS LOS CUATRO CELOS MÁS FAMOSOS DE LA HISTORIA.

Ridolfo Luigi Boccherini (Lucca, 19 de febrero de 1743 – Madrid, 28 de mayo de 1805) fue un compositor y violonchelista italiano. Compositor prolífico, principalmente música de cámara, fue el principal representante de la música instrumental en los países neo-latinos europeos durante el período del clasicismo.

Pau Casals i Defilló, también conocido por el nombre español Pablo Casals (El Vendrell, 29 de diciembre de 1876 – San Juan, 22 de octubre de 1973), fue un violonchelista, compositor y director de orquesta español. Obligado por las imposiciones de las dictaduras en España a utilizar el nombre español Pablo Casals en documentos oficiales, se hizo famoso con este nombre, aunque lo repudió junto con la nacionalidad española en muchas ocasiones, orgullosamente apoyando la nacionalidad catalana y oponiéndose al régimen de Franco. Es considerado el fundador de la técnica moderna de violonchelista y es conocido por su grabación de las suites para violonchelo de Johann Sebastian Bach y por el trabajo de recuperación que realizó en ellas.

Mstislav Leopol’dovič Rostropovič, a veces transliterado como Mstislav Leopoldovich Rostropovich (Bakú, 27 de marzo de 1927 – Moscú, 27 de abril de 2007), era un violonchelista y director de orquesta ruso nacido en Estados Unidos. Nació en Azerbaiyán (entonces parte de la Unión Soviética) pero se mudó a los Estados Unidos, en desacuerdo con el régimen soviético. Cariñosamente llamado Slava (que en ruso significa Gloria), fue considerado el mejor violonchelista de su tiempo; se perfeccionó en la escuela de Pablo Casals y fue aceptado por todos como su digno sucesor. De 1943 a 1948 estudió en el Conservatorio de Moscú, donde se convirtió en profesor de violonchelo en 1956. Murió el 27 de abril de 2007 después de una larga enfermedad, un mes después de cumplir 80 años. El instrumento que tocó fue el Stradivari Duport de 1711, considerado uno de los mejores instrumentos del mundo.

Jacqueline Mary du Pré (Oxford, 26 de enero de 1945 – Londres, 19 de octubre de 1987) fue una violonchelista británica. Famoso en todo el mundo, hoy conocido como uno de los mayores virtuosos de su instrumento, se hizo famoso sobre todo gracias a su interpretación del concierto de violonchelo de Elgar, cuya interpretación a menudo se describe como “legendaria” y “definitiva”. En el apogeo de su carrera, en 1973, a la edad de 28 años, se encontró sufriendo de esclerosis múltiple, que resultó ser maligna. En poco tiempo tuvo que dejar de jugar, pero continuó enseñando durante algunos años. La enfermedad la llevó a la muerte el 19 de octubre de 1987 a la edad de solo 42 años. Su muerte todavía se considera una de las mayores tragedias en el mundo de la música.

🇬🇧 THE CELLO (Stringed musical instrument)

The warm sound of this instrument, born in Italy in the second half of the 16th century, imposed him as a soloist and made him take on a fundamental role in the orchestra.

It is the bass element of the bow-string family. Long appreciated for its virtuosic possibilities, at the end of the 19th century its remarkable expressive qualities were also enhanced.
The cello, born in Italy in the 16th century, belonged to a family of stringed instruments made with variable dimensions.
The first cellos had only 3 strings and were larger than the current ones; from the beginning of the eighteenth century the instrument was built and tuned as we know it today. Its dimensions were codified by the legendary luthiers A. Amati and A. Stradivari.

Luigi Boccherini, eighteenth-century Italian composer and great cellist, wrote a lot for this instrument, as did Vivaldi and later Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Bruch, Dvorak, Tchaikosky, Elgar, Strauss, Fauré, Saint-Saëns , Debussy, Prokovief, Sôstakovich, Delius, Block, Gubaidulina, Britten, Berio and several modern composers.

EXTENSION

The C, two octaves below the central C (C1) for an extension of at least five octaves (six including the over-high sounds off the keyboard and those produced with the use of artificial harmonics)

THE TECHNIQUE

The cello is played seated. The instrument is held between the knees, supported by a tip. The left hand is used for fingering, the right hand for arches.
Excluding the notes obtained with empty strings, the instrument is played by pressing the fingertips on the strings along the keyboard, gradually decreasing their length to reproduce the highest sounds.

Habitual position in the orchestra

The cellos are placed anteriorly in the orchestra, to the right of the conductor.
They are in front of the double basses.

MAYBE THE FOUR MOST FAMOUS CELLOS IN HISTORY.

Ridolfo Luigi Boccherini (Lucca, February 19, 1743 – Madrid, May 28, 1805) was an Italian composer and cellist. Prolific composer, mainly chamber music, he was the main representative of instrumental music in the neo-Latin European countries during the period of Classicism.

Pau Casals i Defilló, also known by the Spanish name Pablo Casals (El Vendrell, 29 December 1876 – San Juan, 22 October 1973), was a Spanish cellist, composer and conductor. Forced by the impositions of dictatorships in Spain to use the Spanish name Pablo Casals in official documents, he became famous with this name, although he repudiated it together with the Spanish nationality on many occasions, proudly supporting the Catalan nationality and opposing the Franco regime. He is considered the founder of modern cellist technique and is known for his recording of Johann Sebastian Bach’s cello suites only and for the recovery work he did on them.

Mstislav Leopol’dovič Rostropovič, sometimes transliterated as Mstislav Leopoldovich Rostropovich (Baku, March 27, 1927 – Moscow, April 27, 2007), was an American-born Russian cellist and conductor. He was born in Azerbaijan (then part of the Soviet Union) but moved to the United States, in dissent with the Soviet regime. Affectionately called Slava (which in Russian means Gloria), he was considered the greatest cellist of his time; he perfected himself at the school of Pablo Casals and was accepted by all as his worthy successor. From 1943 to 1948 he studied at the Moscow Conservatory, where he became a cello professor in 1956. He died on April 27, 2007 after a long illness, a month after turning 80. The instrument he played was the Stradivari Duport of 1711, considered one of the best instruments in the world.

Jacqueline Mary du Pré (Oxford, 26 January 1945 – London, 19 October 1987) was a British cellist. Famous all over the world, today known as one of the greatest virtuosos of his instrument, made famous above all thanks to his performance of Elgar’s cello concert, whose interpretation is often described as “legendary” and “definitive”. At the height of her career, in 1973, at the age of 28, she found herself suffering from multiple sclerosis, which proved to be malignant. In a short time he had to stop playing, but he continued to teach for a few years. The disease led her to death on October 19, 1987 at the age of only 42. His death is still considered one of the greatest tragedies in the world of music.
