60. Cello in Germany in the 19th Century: Hugo Becker "Love Scenes" Op. 7
Here is yet another little gem of a piece. While it requires some attention to higher positions in places, the over all accessibility for the upper intermediate player is in your grasp. As you will hear in my own recording, the amount of practice I got in did not satisfy except to the level of moderately good. But in reality, my goal is more at showing you that such much exists and should be played by more competent cellists than myself. That being said, I greatly enjoy recording these works and will continue on regardless.
There are six movements or scenes that Becker has artfully reimagined as musical prose.
1. Begegnung ("First Sight" or "Meeting")
2. Zweifel ("Doubting")
3. Träumen ("Dreaming")
4. Tänderlei ("Flitting")
5. Frage ("Question")
6. Antwort ("Answer")
