Cello Piano Duo Pieces
on: February 12, 2004, 09:53:30 AM
Hi,

I am in the process of finding a piece for cello and piano piece that is approximately under 6 minutes, which is going to be assessed at the end of the year.
The requirements are that there must be equal piano and cello parts in the piece.
I have been searching, but the pieces I find are mostly cello dominated!
Anyone got any cello piano duo piece suggestions? Thanks, greatly appreciated.

P.S
one of the criteria asks for interaction between instruments, hope that helps

Movements two and three of Rachamaninoff's cello/piano sonata Op.19 in gminor come in at just a bit over 6 minutes and they are beautiful pieces. :).

any part of brahms' sonatas for cello and piano - especially "chalenging" would be the fugue from the (i think) 1st sonata - must read it, at least. also, the second part is wonderful, and is also very "interactive"

When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists

“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive. But according to recent research, a robotic exoskeleton hand could help pianists improve their speed of performing difficult pianistic patterns, by overcoming the well-known “ceiling effect”.
