Abstract

My M.M. thesis demonstrates a variety of performance literature on the cello, ranging historically from Baroque to Contemporary. The first half of the recital explores the versatility of the cello as a solo instrument, beginning with J. S. Bach's Suite No. 6 in D Major for unaccompanied cello, BWV 1012. I end the first half with a contrasting solo piece that I composed in memory of a recently departed family member. The second half of the recital focuses on the cello as a collaborative instrument with the Kodaly Duo for violin and cello, op. 7.
