CALL TO SERVE
We recently welcomed Paul Stauffer to the ICS staff. Paul has volunteered to be our Library Technician with a focus on utilizing resources on the Internet. He will also join Paul Critser and Marshall St. John as an ICS Internet Surfer. His homepage is at http:\\www.digitalnation.com\pstauffer and he can be contacted at pstauffer@digitalnation.com
The strength of the Internet Cello Society lies in the combined efforts of its members. To maintain our small niche in today's music world, we need to band together, promote our art, and take advantage of every means to interest new, future audiences. More than a dozen members have stepped forward to volunteer as ICS staff members. We need a few more leaders to contribute their time and talent to the following areas in particular:
ICS POSITION OPENINGS
Forum Assistants
Our forum directors need help in stimulating discussion within each ICS forum. Armed with a list of ICS members that are most likely to be interested in forum, the FADs and forum directors solicit conversation and interaction with other members.
Mailing List Maintainer
Someone who doesn't mind a little bit of repetitious work maintaining our emailing list of 1500+ ICS members. This person would save me a lot of time!
FAQ/BBS Maintainer
This person would compile frequently asked questions and answers and incorporate them in the FAQ page, and collect interesting correspondence of ICS forum discussion to post on the ICS Bulletin Board. This does require experience in writing HTML documents.
Internet Surfer
ICS is still looking for more volunteers to surf the Net for related music sites. All you need to do is create a list of abstracts as the one below, bi-monthly. Experience in writing HTML documents is preferred.
CGI Script Programmer
This very important position entails maintaining the existing cgi scripts and writing some simple scripts so that we can have survey polls, etc....
Reporters/Writers/Reviewers
ICS needs more members writing about what is up in their particular area--documenting concerts, masterclasses, new publications, new music and events. All members are welcome; international members strongly encouraged.
Job Openings Maintainer
Several members have requested that ICS maintain a list of current job openings for cellists. Are you interested?
The ICS /Cello FAQ is yet to be completed. Help would expedite the process :-)
***f you would like to volunteer to cover one of the above positions, please contact me at CelloTalk@aol.com***
This issue of Tutti Celli is fully packed with interesting articles and information. Take special note of the exclusive interview of Nathaniel Rosen by Tim Finholt which is attached to this newsletter. Any feedback on this exclusive series of interviews is much appreciated.
The Internet Cello Society regrets whenever any of its members must discontinue membership; however, none have left on such sad circumstances as the following member. Besides his final message below, he has left us a 'Swan Song' poem that contemplates the beauty of music and the cello.
I've tried taking lessons for nearly two months now...I cannot feel the
music as I did before I went to war...I've stopped the lessons and am trying
to sell my cello...A cello is a thing a beauty, but its beauty is not found
gathering dust in the corner of a study....
For thirty years I have missed the cello...I've come close but I just don't
have the ear...I am grateful for your efforts here on the internet to keep
this music alive...to facilitate contact and growth....
Please remove my name from the rolls of membership....I will miss this
forum...as I cried when I first held my cello, this time, and drew the bow I
will again cry when I sell it...I trust the buyer will enjoy and share
enjoyment...
- Sincerely:
- JSW
- Provo, Utah
***If you would like to respond to something you have read in 'Tutti Celli', write to CelloTalk@aol.com and type "Letter to Editor" in subject field. (Letters may be edited.)***
We are two girls studying Graphic-Design in a small town near Stuttgart in Germany. By accident, we discovered your very interesting ICS on the WWW. Our current design project is the creation of an interactive program about the cello. It deals with the cello's functions, its music and composers. We would like to introduce not only Bach as a typical classic composer, but also modern cello music. We've had problems acquiring good advice about composers. We have in mind a different kind of playing, e.g. knocking on the corpus... not only using the strings or the bow to play. Do you have any composers in mind who have written such extra-ordinary pieces of cello (solo) music?
- With our best regards,
- Susanne Gebhardt and Christine Wienand

***There is a progressive organization of cellists that is dedicated to the promotion of such contemporary styles of music for the cello. See the of this newsletter for more information on this the New Directions Cello Association! Also, Fallen Leaf Press has a booked called Cello Music Since 1960: A Bibliography of Solo, Chamber, & Orchestral Works for the Solo Cellist by Donald Homuth with includes information on new performance techniques that may be used. "
Best wishes from our southern climes. The ICS page is looking great, and I have loved the articles and interviews. I wonder if you have heard our news. Paul and Martha Katz will be leaving their positions at Eastman to teach with us at the Shepherd School starting this Fall. We are tremendously excited about adding their wonderful energy to our faculty.
- All best wishes,

Hello! I am a professional cellist in Vancouver, Canada. I spent a number of years studying with a very fine cellist who was a student of Andre Navarra's in Paris. Navarra's technique has had a huge influence on my approach to performing and how I teach my students. I saw an ad in a music magazine several years ago for a book called " The Navarra Method ". After trying in vain to order a copy of it I got no response from the distributor and no one I checked with seemed to know anything about the book. If any of you fellow cellists out there know how I can get a hold of a copy of it (new or used), could you please contact me at :

Greetings from the Netherlands! Congratulations with this wonderful site, I am very glad to find information about my beloved cello. Hopefully your site will evolve to be a world wide centre for the cello.

CONVERSATION WITH NATHANIEL ROSEN
***An Internet Cello Society Exclusive!!!***
by Tim Finholt
Nathaniel Rosen, former Teaching Assistant for Gregor Piatigorsky at the University of Southern California, is renowned for being the only American cellist to ever win the Tchaikovsky Competition in Russia. Mr. Rosen is in much demand as a soloist, recording artist, and chamber musician. He teaches at the Manhattan School of Music and the Thomas More College in New Hampshire.
***The complete transcript of the above has been sent to you as an attached file and is also archived at the ICS World Wide Web site.***
THE CELLO & SCOTTISH FIDDLE TUNES
Chase Morrison
"I first became aware of Scottish music as a small child. I had had intense exposure to classical music by the time I was eight, and was just embarking on what would become a long career as a cellist. But music of Scotland was a large part of the "at home" listening music.
The cello, as it figures in early Scottish music, was used as a bass line and accompaniment, much as in other countries at that time. Music of the Bachs, Corelli etc. have the cello most times as pure accompaniment. Scotland was no different. And the violin parts of Scottish music are the heart of the matter. I was determined to make the cello sing and wail the way the violin or a good set of bagpipes would."
GEFF DEAN--EXPATRIATED AMERICAN CELLIST
- Since the completion of graduate studies at Indiana University in 1991, he has resided in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria and the birthplace of his wife, harpist Anna-Maria Ravnopolska, and more recently their son. Since then, his cellistic pursuits have ranged from the systematic acquisition of a large amount of Bulgarian and other Balkan repertoire, which he performs regularly between the Adriatic and Black Seas, to local premieres of rarely-heard original works for cello and harp. He has made a number of transcriptions for cello and for various string combinations of pieces by Vladigerov, Stoyanov, Pipkov, Goleminov, Hadjiev, and other outstanding Bulgarian composers. Geoffrey Dean is a founding music faculty member at the American University in Bulgaria, located in the heart of the magnificent Pirin Mountains in the southwestern city of Blagoevgrad. High on his list of New Year's resolutions for 1996 is completion of an oral history of local gadulka-playing traditions. (Glossary available on request.)

MEDICAL PROBLEMS OF CELLISTS-- Richard Norris, M.D.
Compiled by Tim Finholt
- A new video has recently come out that ALL cellists should view. It is called "Medical Problems of Cellists" and is a 1 hour tape of a lecture given by Richard Norris, M.D., also author of "The Musicians' Survival Manual" and of another video called "Therapeutic Exercises for Musicians." "Medical Problems of Cellists" is basically a tape a slide show with Dr. Norris talking in the background. Though there is a some medical jargon, Dr. Norris does an excellent job of explaining himself in more lay terms after he gives the technical explanation, so that his message is quite understandable. He shows many slides of cellists and the common cellistic activities that cause injury.
CELLAIRE TRAVEL CASE
by Barbara Hedlund
"After reading the informative article on flying with one's cello written by
Michael Bersin, I felt my experiences and this information might be useful
to other cellists... I discovered the Cellaire Case thanks to noted cellist Laszlo Varga who also named the case. I have successfully traveled with it on planes in the US and to Europe since 1991 without paying additional fares. Mr. Varga uses his when not buying a seat, or when he isn't using a cello he owns and has
stored around the world.
THE LIFE AND INFLUENCE OF PABLO CASALS
by Marshall St. John
BEGINNING A CAREER
An ongoing serial story of the most influential cellist of the early 20th century.
***This newsletter section will draw from correspondence and discussion in the following on-line departments. All members are encouraged to join a specific forum mailing list. Send any pertinent discussion, questions & answers, articles or other correspondence to the appropriate department. ***
- THE YOUNG CELLIST
***Stacy Cowley, forum director at: Isoma@aol.com***
INTRO: The Young Cellists Forum is a meeting and correspondence place for all cellists under 21. Whether you plan a professional career or your playing is strictly for fun, this is the forum for you!
- THE CELLO TEACHER (K-12, College & Private)
***Bret Smith, forum director at BPSmith@aol.com***
INTRO: Welcome to the ICS Cello Teacher forum. We discuss the highs, lows, potentials, problems, and all other interesting aspects of the cello teaching process. Please join us to post ideas about literature, teaching metaphors, anecdotes, or just a greeting. Your host is BPSmith, a cellist and teacher.
I'm sending this to several people in hopes of some response. I teach middle school strings and am looking for a GRADED list of music by the masters. Certainly Vivaldi, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, etc. wrote some music that would be considered grade I - III (MENC or Pepper). I'm really tired of Frost, Dackow, et al. There are many nice transcriptions, but I would really like to know if there are pieces on this beginning level available. If you know of such please email me at cxfr07a@prodigy.com
- Chris Doemel
***You really ask the BIG QUESTION. As far as I know, no such graded list exists in a commercial format. Robert Culver of the University of Michigan has a student who as a part of a thesis graded some of Luck's Music library catalog. He is also a great source of lesser-known works from the Hortus Musicus, etc. I believe his email is rculver@umich.edu, but you can find him thru x500 search, or on the UM web page.
I've had some luck with pieces from early Mozart string quartets, and the trio sonata repertoire of Corelli, Pergolesi, etc. The early Mannheim symphonists (Stamitz, Gluck) are also scored for strings only at times, and are playable. Handel and Corelli concerti grossi are good, too. I feel that the teacher needs to edit each part carefully with good fingerings and bowings. Maybe someday someone will collect and edit some of this original and beautiful music......

I am a Lutheran Pastor who has played the 'cello for 32 years. Last year, for the first time I started teaching 'cello. My student is a Junior in HS with a great attitude. I think she is a better student than I am a teacher. I have also been asked to start a very young boy on a quarter size cello. Could you recommend some books or articles that will help me better understand how to teach the cello?

INTRO: What does it take to make a living on the cello?
Dear Paul,
I am very pleased to discover the Cello Society on the Internet. In response to your question, ["What does it take to make a living on the cello?"], I would say that the most important thing that a cellist needs to have is a good teacher to guide him in his playing, over a period of at least a few years. A good teacher will not only explore with him the technique of playing the cello but also teach him how to study the music. Eventually, a cellist needs to be able to prepare a work independently. An aspiring cellist should know how to practice effectively and be disciplined in practice. He must also have a reasonably good instrument.
I would say that it is possible to make a living as a cellist in several ways, such as orchestral cellist, chamber musician and cello teacher. The requirements of each job are somewhat different; however, I think it is rare for any cellist to fall into just one category exclusively.

- THE CELLIST-BY-NIGHT
***Tim Finholt, interim forum director can be contacted at editor@cello.org***
INTRO: The Cellist by Night Forum is for those who play the cello purely for the love of it, and want to learn more about our wonderful instrument. If you need help with certain passages in your music, choosing repertoire, thoughts on stage fright, finding good books and articles, or you need to talk about anything musical, then write to Tim Finholt at editor@cello.org.
We discussed how teaching is a huge responsibility. For those who want to dabble in cello teaching, it is important that you know what you are doing, so that you don't teach or let pass bad habits that can take years to eradicate or that can cause permanent injury.
I ran across a brochure for the Amateur Chamber Music Players, Inc. The AMCP is a non-profit association that facilitates informal playing and singing by people of all skill levels. They put your name on a list and match you up with other musicians in your area. For more info, write to:

Is there anybody who lives a few thousand miles closer to Tempe who has a cello I could borrow to play in the cello orchestra? Or a more reasonable question: is there anybody going who would be willing to report on the event in the next ICS newsletter? We could use a reporter at Manchester as well.

The 2nd Annual NDCA Festival
Boston on August 1-3, 1996 at Berklee College of Music.
Featured cellists will include Mark Summer, Erik Friedlander, Matthew Brubeck, and 6 others! If you are interested we can send you a brochure. One of the NDCA's main projects is the NDCA Festival, an annual symposium on the current state of the non-classical cello. The festival features performances and hands-on workshops by some of today's most innovative non-classical cellists in many different styles.
The New Directions Cello Association (NDCA) is a private organization which has created a network for the growing field of non-classical cello. The goals of the NDCA are to encourage interaction among non-classical cellists, and to promote awareness among all cellists and the musically oriented public about the contributions that cellists are making in many styles of contemporary music. This encompasses those musical styles which are not commonly taught to cellists at music schools (jazz, blues, rock, folk, electronic, experimental, world, etc.) especially those involving some amount of improvisation. The NDCA publishes a newsletter called Cello City Ink twice a year which contains interviews, reviews, articles, and other information related to non-classical cello.
