13 hours ago13 hr Hi @Mango ,Welcome to the forum!Why don't you write a concerto for an instrument you are familiar with? Writing a concerto requires a more thorough understanding of the solo instrument to allow an idiomatic and virtuosic display of the instrument. Maybe you can start with a cello sonata first? That would really help you know more about the instrument before using it in a more virtuosic setting with an orchestral background.Henry
8 hours ago8 hr Hello @Mango ! Welcome!I think if you really want to just try the genre you can write a basic beginner's concerto based on some specific technique that you know beginner cellists learn. Look at some scores of existing cello pieces or concerti or watch YouTube demonstrations of cello techniques and use those techniques to build a basic melodic motif that you'll use in your concerto. That's how I would approach it! Great question!
