This masterclass took place at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía, Madrid 2014. Student: Laura Szabo Accompanying pianist: Miguel Ángel Ortega Chavaldas Venue: Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía, Madrid (Spain) 27/11/2014 F. J. Haydn: Cello concerto in D major H VIIb: 2 (cello and piano reduction) - I. Allegro moderato Abstract: Professor Gutman gives general indications and tips about performing, such as expression, support of the sound, tension-relaxation, double stops and legato, triplets and flexibility in the right hand. Referring to the cadenza it should be a clear contrast of colour among parts and it is necessary to give the whole length to the bow in long notes. Gutman also recommends to use more bow in passages with crescendo. *********** By donating to the School, you help support the free tuition of more than 150 young great talents from all around the world, while we bring Classical music closer to society.
