    YES!!!!!!!!!! WOOT! I've been learning the cello for five years now and I felt proud to know I knew every piece here and had played most of them. I am a serious adult learner who is beyond infatuated with the cello, it has literally become my life. If it weren't for COVID-19 I would have played the first movement of the Saint-Saens cello concerto #1 this weekend with my local orchestra. Twoset did a great job considering they do not have to switch between three clefs on a daily basis as I do, Piano gang I am sure feels me, having to read two lines and clefs at the same time let alone having it change as well! I'd like to see them do this again with the levels readjusted maybe XD
    For anyone who loves the cello and just wants some awesome cello to listen to I have plenty of recommendations! Most of these can be found here on UA-cam as well!
    My top piece of all time- Dvorak Cello Concerto (46 minutes)-Lyrical, beautiful and a wondrous example of what the cello can really do. I recommend Jacqueline Du Pre for this one as the soloist
    If you're more into Bach, everyone knows the Prelude to Bach suite 1 for cello, but my personal favorite of the suites is Suite 2, and I recommend you take a listen to the entire 6 suites if you have time Each suite is roughly 30 minutes. I recommend Ralph Kirschbaum for this endeavor.
    The Beethoven Cello Sonatas (each sonata is around 20 minutes) are all fantastic. I would recommend starting with 3 and 4 and if you want you can listen to all 6. My personal favorite is Sonata 2. Yo-Yo Ma and Emmanuel Ax have a great set of recordings for all of these.
    The Debussy Sonata (25-30 minutes) they played here is my absolute favorite sonata for cello, it is full of mystique and wonder. It is a fantastical piece in the literal sense of fantasy. Listen to Rostropovich for this one.
    If you are looking for something more Romantic, Tchaikovsky wrote something called the Rococo Variations (15-23 minutes) for cello and it is the closest we have to a concerto from the great composer. Another Yo-Yo Ma if you wanna watch that one. The interesting thing about the Rococo Variations is they were edited by the dedicated cellist and Tchaikovsky just allowed it despite not liking it. You can hear Tchaikovsky's intended order if you listen to Julian Llyod Weber's composer rendition. If you want speed and technical precision Janos Starker plays the piece in just 16 minutes when it is usually 20-23 minutes long.
    A quintessential for cello listeners is Jacqueline Du Pre's playing the Elgar Cello Concerto (22 minutes), a beautiful piece full of passion and emotion that so few have come even close to replicating in the way with Jacqueline has.
    Finally if you want to here a powerful and definitely considered one of the most difficult sonatas for cello the Kodaly Sonata is there for you to listen to! I don't have any recording recommendations, listening to it while amazing also stresses me out XD
    If you are looking for shorter pieces that are wonderful examples of cello
    The Swan (Le Cygne) -Saint-Saens (Too many good recordings , Yo-Yo Ma, Jacqueline Du Pre, and many others. This one is one to explore and find your own favorites!)
    Elegie -Faure (I would recommend Jacqueline Du Pre)
    Oblivion arranged for Cello and Bandoneon- Piazolla (I would recommend the Ophelie Gaillard recording)

      One time my orchestra played a piece where we (cellos) were doing these arpeggios and I'm not joking it was one measure of bass then tenor then treble then tenor then bass then tenor then treble etc. Only one measure of each. I have never seen such shenanigans in my entire life.

      @@wyej cellist and pianist here, cellists encounter 3 clefs far earlier and much more commonly than pianists encounter 3 staves. It really messes with your head when it changes because you have to re-calibrate almost the same space in your brain vs when I play with 3 staves I am keeping track of the 3 separate staves as separate things if that makes sense.

    Twoset on bass clef: the struggle is real!!!!!!!
    Twoset on treble: immediately starts being perfect relaxed legato and phrasing.
    back to bass: CruNcH!!!!!!

    how tf is the SHOSTAKOVICH CELLO CONCERTO level three? every single aspect about that piece is ridiculously hard lol

      Because editor san was a cellist and maybe for her that piece is not hard 🤷‍♀️ Or maybe she just wanted to watch them suffer for all their screamings she has to edit 😹

      Well the opening isn’t ‘too difficult’ (note wise at least). It’s later on where some mad stuff happens

      Prokofiev definitely hardest. I would put Rococo/ Haydn D next then maybe Dvorak then Shostakovich. It’s not bad if you have good technique-then again the concerto is mostly just rhythm and technique anyways

    As a cellist, you get used to switching clefs a lot. Tenor is honestly my favorite clef. The worst is when you have to read treble but play an octave down from where it's written. It sits one line away from what it would be in tenor, and it's really annoying. I count that as it's own clef, so I think most cellists read 4 clefs regularly.

    As a cello, I can relate to when he was complaining about continually switching clefs.
