Even more cello playing today. Went to another chamber music workshop put on by the CMNC - second one I’ve been to since the previous one, back in October. Today’s cello music was much more satisfying than the Mozart played last time though. When the director called a few weeks ago I was quite put out by being told that I had to play cello and half jokingly told the lady that I didn’t want to be stuck playing some boring bass line in Mozart. So she (sarcastically, I thought) asked if I wanted some difficult Schubert instead and I said sure - and that was what I got today, the Schubert C major quintet, which I had heard for the first time at the last workshop. It’s an absolutely sublime piece of music especially for the two cello parts - big bravura schmaltzy cello duet solo in the first movement, fantastic second movement for second cello part - and the other players in the group were very strong players, so it was great fun all around.
