This is a transcription for cello duet of the second movement of a double violin sonata I wrote a long time ago. An acquaintance who is an amateur cellist very kindly recorded both parts for me so this is his performance. One of my very few works to have actually been performed :) . I also attached a Garritan realized version as well.

A brief piece for cello and piano I quickly wrote. It is among the first of the pieces that I've written in such a style, so I'm always looking to improve. Let me know your thoughts, and thanks!

Hello all, I am putting the finishing touches on a work for solo cello which utilises several extended techniques and have been struggling to find a suitable Italian term for one. The passage in question requires that the bow be drawn over the strings with less than the usual pressure so that the sound is thin and glassy (mostly upper overtones are heard) rather than the normal full tone of the instrument. It is supposed to be in the usual part of the string and not close to the bridge so ponticello would not be the correct term. Flautando came to mind but I have always understood this to require playing over the fingerboard and producing a pure tone rather than the slightly scratchy effect I intend. Can anyone suggest anything? My best attempt to coin a term is graffiato but would prefer to use something more widely understood to mean an specific technique. Attached is a sample of what I am trying to describe.graffiato sample.wav

Is there some place online (not YouTube!) where I can listen to the various bowing techniques in strings. For example, for someone who does not play a string, it is hard to understand the difference in marcato from spiccato fom martellato.

I want to write a very high (natural) harmonic for cello, and I want to check the proper notation here. It's the 8th harmonic, thus 3octaves above the open string. I think thediamondshaped notehas to be a second plus an halve sharp above my open string G. is that right? I tried this on a guitar, since I have no cello at hand, but the 7th harmonic (the false 7th) is also somewhere in between the m3 and the M2, so I dont know how to propperly notate it in quarter tones... For clarity sake an oveview harmonic at perfct fourth is adding 2 octave (1/4th string) at major 3rd is adding 2 octave and a M3 (5th harmonic) at minor 3rd is adding 2 octave and P5 (6th harmonic) at minor 3rd minus something is adding 2oct and a false 7th (7th harmonic) at Major 2nd plus something is adding 3 oct. (8th harmonic, the one I want) at exacltly Major 2nd results in the 10th harmonic, 3 octave and a M3 EDIT: I add an picture what I think is the proper notation, please confirm or deny. It is in the second measure below, an harmonic glis from the 5th harmonic to the 8th

I am working on a cello piece. I wanted to check which of the 3 options in the pic would be the most playable. The options differ only on how to play the high Eb 1st beat 2nd ms. My vote goes to the 2nd. hoping the false harmonic is easy to make, the 5th in the high range isn't that huge an interval, with one of the fingers allready near that Eb spot.

Hey everyone, I just wrote a book called, Cello Chords, which is a guide to harmony on the cello. It covers 11 different types of chords in all 12 keys and is an excellent resource for exploring all different types of music on the cello. You can check it out and purchase it here: www.bryanwilsoncello.com/cello-chords. Thanks guys!
