David Conte: Aria and Fugue: Cello mit Begleitung

The Aria features a lyrical, somewhat melancholy melody in the solo instrument which is continually supported by rich, regularly pulsating chords in the accompaniment. Contrasting sections are faster and mysterious in character, with a return to the opening idea. The Fugue is based on a subject, both lively and melancholy, in compound meter. This subject is treated with standard devices of development, including inversion and augmentation. - David Conte Duration: 8:00. Includes score and part.
