For Cello and Piano (Edited by Alfred Moffat and Eugen Rapp)

Description

Melodies by Old Masters for Young Cellists, Vol. 1 is a time-tested, foundational pedagogical anthology designed to introduce developing cellists to the beauty of early music. Expertly selected and arranged by distinguished editors Alfred Moffat and Eugen Rapp, this collection is published by Schott Music under the historic Edition Schott series. Featuring 12 charming, accessible pieces by celebrated masters of the Baroque and Classical eras—including Corelli, Telemann, Rameau, Handel, and Mozart—this 40-page volume is tailored specifically for beginner to early-intermediate players. It bridges the gap between basic technical exercises and expressive concert performance, making it an essential addition to any young student's library and a beloved resource for string teachers worldwide.

About the Editors

Alfred Moffat (1863–1950) was a renowned Scottish composer, music collector, and antiquarian who dedicated much of his life to discovering and arranging forgotten 17th- and 18th-century European string music. Eugen Rapp was an esteemed German cellist and pedagogue whose refined bowings, fingerings, and student-centered arrangements for Schott Music have guided generations of young cellists through the foundational stages of string education.

Performance Tips

1. Singing Bow Strokes in Cantabile Movements : In lyrical opening selections like Corelli's Largo affettuoso, focus on smooth bow distribution and seamless string crossings to develop a warm, continuous singing tone without sudden accents.
2. Crisp Dance Rhythms : In baroque dance movements like the Gavottes by Telemann and Handel, maintain light, lifted bowings near the balance point. Keep dotted rhythms lively and articulate to capture the joyful, courtly dance character.
3. Left-Hand Intonation in First and Half Positions : These early-level arrangements are set comfortably in basic positions. Pay careful attention to finger spacing (whole steps vs. half steps) and match your open strings frequently to build solid foundational intonation.
4. Chamber Ensemble Awareness : Listen actively to the piano part to grasp the harmonic progressions and cadence points. Practicing with the accompaniment will strengthen rhythmic stability and develop early collaborative musicianship.

內容簡介

《古典大師青年大提琴曲集 第一冊》（Melodies by Old Masters for Young Cellists, Vol. 1）是一套歷久彌新的經典大提琴入門名作選。由知名音樂學者阿爾弗雷德·莫法特（Alfred Moffat）與資深大提琴教育家尤金·拉普（Eugen Rapp）攜手精選編訂，並由德國百年權威出版社 Schott Music 於著名的《Edition Schott》系列中發行。本書精選了柯賴里、泰勒曼、拉摩、韓德爾及莫札特等巴洛克與古典時期大師的 12 首旋律優美、風格純淨的小品，全書共 40 頁，難易度設定為初級（Easy）。選曲完美兼顧了扎實的基礎把位訓練與早期音樂的歌唱性培養，能有效引導初學大提琴的學生從單調的音階練習自然過渡到具備舞台效果的優雅樂曲，是大提琴初學者、音樂班啟蒙以及弦樂教師課堂教學必備的經典重奏教材。

作者簡介

阿爾弗雷德·莫法特（Alfred Moffat，1863–1950）是蘇格蘭著名作曲家與古代音樂文獻收藏家，畢生致力於發掘、整理並改編十七與十八世紀歐洲經典弦樂小品。尤金·拉普（Eugen Rapp）則是二十世紀德國傑出的弦樂教育家，其為 Schott 出版社編訂的大提琴教材以精準實用的指法與弓法標註聞名，深得全球弦樂教育界的推崇與信賴。

演奏重點

1. 歌唱性運弓與均勻換弦 : 在如柯賴里的《深情的緩板》（Largo affettuoso）等慢板抒情樂曲中，請注重全弓的均勻分配與平順的換弦動作，維持穩定連貫的氣息與溫暖音色，避免音頭過重。
2. 輕盈躍動的巴洛克舞曲節奏 : 在泰勒曼與韓德爾的加沃特舞曲（Gavotte）中，運弓宜保持在弓子平衡點附近，展現短促、輕巧且帶有彈跳感的發音，精準呈現宮廷舞蹈的高雅與活潑律動。
3. 第一把位與半把位的穩定音準 : 曲目大多規劃在基礎的第一把位與半把位內。練習時請特別留意全音與半音的手指間距，多利用空弦對音檢驗，建立紮實穩定的左手手型架構。
4. 傾聽鋼琴伴奏的和聲走向 : 在合奏過程中，應主動傾聽鋼琴伴奏的低音與和弦變化，特別是在樂句的終止式上，培養良好的重奏默契與穩固的節拍律動感。
