In 1720, Antonio Stradivari crafted an exquisite work of art-a
cello known as the Piatti. Over the next three centuries of its
life, the Piatti cello left its birthplace of Cremona, Italy, and
resided in Spain, Ireland, England, Italy, Germany, and the United
States. In 1978, the Piatti became the musical soul mate of
world-renowned cellist Carlos Prieto, with whom it has given
concerts around the world. In this delightful book, Mr. Prieto
recounts the adventurous life of his beloved "Cello Prieto,"
tracing its history through each of its previous owners from
Stradivari in 1720 to himself. He then describes his noteworthy
experiences of playing the Piatti cello, with which he has
premiered some eighty compositions. In this part of their mutual
story, Prieto gives a concise summary of his own remarkable career
and his relationships with many illustrious personalities,
including Igor Stravinsky, Dmitry Shostakovich, Pablo Casals,
Mstislav Rostropovich, Yo-Yo Ma, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. A new
epilogue, in which he describes recent concert tours in Moscow,
Siberia, and China and briefer visits to South Korea, Taiwan, and
Venezuela, as well as recent recitals with Yo-Yo Ma, brings the
story up to 2009. To make the story of his cello complete, Mr.
Prieto also provides a brief history of violin making and a
succinct review of cello music from Stradivari to the present. He
highlights the work of composers from Latin America, Spain, and
Portugal, for whose music he has long been an advocate and
principal performer. The print edition of this book includes a CD
of fourteen recordings by Carlos Prieto, including works by J. S.
Bach, Dmitry Shostakovich, Astor Piazzolla, and Eugenio Toussaint.
All seven volumes of Mel Bay's original, internationally acclaimed
Modern Guitar Method series are included in this single, deluxe
master compilation. No other comparable method exists for the
guitar! As Mr. Bay perceived the need for a guitar method that
would effectively teach beginning guitarists to read music, this
method is intentionally written in standard notation only,
providing just enough music theory to understand what the student
is required to play at any given point. Although fingerstyle
technique can be applied to the pieces and studies, this book is
specifically tailored for the plectrum-style player. Contains
hundreds of beginner through advanced solos and duets in all
fretboard positions and all keys, plus all four-note rhythm chord
formations on high, middle and low sets of adjacent strings. This
edition also includes additional outstanding plectrum guitar solo
arrangements not found in the original seven volumes. All in all,
this outstanding method leads the student to total mastery of the
fretboard.
