Bloch: Supplication (No. 2 Of "From Jewish Life") w/CD

Category: Cello and Piano ** Composer: Bloch, Ernest ** Title: Supplication (No. 2 of "From Jewish Life") ** Edited by: Kindler ** Book/Part: with Piano Accompaniment on CD ** Publisher: Fischer Edition ** Difficulty: A4.

Similar in mood to Prayer, Supplication, the second movement in Bloch's From Jewish Life suite, is just as expressive. The cello and piano carry a sad, introspective melody that sounds distinctly Jewish, though in fact it was entirely derived from Bloch's imagination, not based on Hebraic folk traditions.
