Perhaps Jessie and Ariana might be like to prepare a piano four-hands duet to play together. I don't know anything about piano four-hands, sadly--any ideas?

Since Jonah Krolik is bringing his cellist son to week 2, a lot of things become potentially possible that didn't used to be. For example, piano trios. We've got a couple of violinists and a couple of pianists, I know. would anyone like to suggest an appropriate piano trio?

I remember as a kid playing a movement from a Beethoven piece for violin, flute and viola (it's very well known, but I don't remember the name--maybe someone might supply it?) If we got a ringer in to play viola, perhaps that might be fun for Imani and Elena to work on? (Emma is playing some viola these days--as a former Kid, maybe she'd be interested).

Hi Elizabeth,Jonah could handle the Haydn or Mozart piano trios. Another great option for flute, violin, and cello would be the Haydn London trios. In most of these works, though, the cello part is technically easier than the others. He could also handle some easier Romantic or 20th century music.. There are some beautiful short string trios by Schubert, for example. Do you find this valuable? |

Another question (for you and for other parents) is: how many pieces like this do you think he'd want to prepare? Are we thinking one or two?

Hi Elisabeth! It's Beethoven Serenade, Op. 25...looks like that will be on a faculty concert too this summer, Week 3.

I'd be happy to fill in parts in the kids' concerts, but really the kids should get first dibs, even up to rearranging pieces for the ensembles we have. Maybe we could rewrite the viola part for cello? What other instruments do we have?

Hi Elizabeth,Finally figured out that I need to sign up for this discussion board so hopefully I'll get your posts in my email. Any update on what kids are coming during Week 2? Still planning to bring Jonah so would be a good time to decide on some repertoire with cello so he can start learning it. Looking forward.... Thanks, Jeff Do you find this valuable? |
