Seder, Dimitry Markevitch concludes his preface, or Prelude as he calls it: History, fact and personal anecdote blend here to provide a complete story of the instrument. May this book entertain you, help you to know the cello to the fullest, and lead you to love it as I do.\" Reading the book confirms that he has amply accomplished his aims. His qualifications for doing so are of the highest. Markevitch is a performer of considerable note and a teacher at both the Ecole Normale de Musique and Conservatoire Serge Rachmaninoff in Paris. He also has a keen interest in musicology and has edited many works for publication. The book is divided into three parts: \"The Instrument,\" tracing the history of the cello and cello bow from earliest times, \"The Performers,\" anecdotes of historical cellists plus a long section on Markevitch's friend Piatigorsky, and \"Great Moments for the Cello,\" development of cello repertoire.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895322935584,"sku":"NEW0874874068","price":20.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/A1csUdnyGUL.jpg?v=1782033336","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/cello-story-0874874068","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
