If you keep the bow fully on the string, the fast runs in Haydn's C Major Concerto come out muddy. In under 5 minutes, Santiago Cañón-Valencia shows how a light wrist and hand let the bow bounce ever so slightly, so every note comes out clean and separate while the pulse stays steady.
In this course, virtuoso cellist Santiago Cañón-Valencia takes us on a guided tour of one of the classic and most-played concerti: Haydn's Concerto in C major. A piece that was lost for most of its musical history, since its rediscovery in the middle of the 20th century, it has become a staple of the repertoire, played by everyone from students to top soloists. Cañón-Valencia brings a fresh approach to this piece as he guides us through the varying characters and delightful musical shapes that make this piece one of the most popular worldwide.
