920bpm Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 These are a couple of high cello parts in pieces I'm working on, how playable are they? If the first treble clef melody is too high, would harmonics make a decent substitute? The jump from the high Gb to the double stop at the end of the second one is impossible, am I right? I might just replace the Gb with a rest. Thanks. high cello parts.pdf PDF high cello parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QcCowboy Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 it's awkward, not "impossible". it's in a very high position just previous, then there's a sudden jump to a very low hand position. if you put a single rest there (off-setting the double stop) there's no real problem. it still requires a good cellist, however. As for the "high" aspect, there's no real problem with this. my own cello sonata is consistantly in treble clef, and goes up to, if I recall, a G above the treble staff. even that's not the highest possible note. And I remember asking my cellist about it, and she was "oh puh-lease! no prob." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
