All things cello music. Your place to discover more cello music than you or your cello teacher ever thought existed. There are thousands and thousands of works for cello. I also have a Youtube channel in which I spend a good deal of time recording sets of "Forgotten Cello Music". I largely omit the famous composers to focus in on the likes of Klengel, Goltermann, S. Lee, Noelck, Romberg, Cervetto, Schetky, and many other names you rarely hear. This podcast was born out of the desire to have a podcast. I have wanted to make a podcast for years. My passion is Classical music.

54. Quarenghi and Counterpoint: FUGUE

Episode 54 is Part 4 and the final installment in my exploration into Counterpoint.

It started simply due to an accident. Upon finding and perusing through Guglielmo Quarenghi's 600 page cello method, there in the middle was a complete study on counterpoint. Included were original compositions of his own exemplifying 5 Species of Counterpoint, Imitation, Canon, and Fugue.

I was hooked because of the singularity of the inclusion. This was also indicative of the lack of attention paid to counterpoint especially in relation to Bach's music and how central a role it plays in a cellists upbringing.

What are your own thoughts on learning Bach's suites for cello or any other composition? Is it necessary to learn counterpoint to be an informed player or is it more of an issue of adding to the palette? (Or would you phrase it differently?)
