Pablo Casals - The Casals Legacy - 10 Solos for Cello and Piano - compiled by Marion Feldman - Carl Fischer Publications

10 Solo Pieces from Pablo Casals's Repertoire for Cello with Piano AccompanimentThis collection is dedicated to the legacy of Pablo Casals. It comprises ten pieces that he often performed throughout his extensive career. His great love of Bach is reflected by his arrangements of the Adagio from the Toccata in C Major for organ and the Chorale form Jesu, meine Freude. The great Catalan-Spanish tradition from which he came speaks out in the "Intermezzo" from Granados's opera Goyescas and Casals's own Cant dell Ocells (Song of the Birds). Two other pieces in this collection, Mazurka in G Minor and Vito, were composed by David Popper, who is remembered today as the leader of the Hungarian school of cello playing. Casals often played many of these virtuoso pieces for the cello as encores on his programs. He also recorded them in a collection of short pieces. The ten pieces in this collection are presented with updated fingerings and bowings.
