Barcelonian Gaspar Cassado (1897-1966) was one of the greatest
cello virtuosi of the twentieth century and a notable composer and
arranger, leaving a vast and heterogeneous legacy. In this book,
Gabrielle Kaufman provides the first full-length scholarly work
dedicated to Cassado, containing the results of seven years of
research into his life and legacy, after following the cellist's
steps through Spain, France, Italy and Japan. The study presents
in-depth descriptions of the three main parts of Cassado's creative
output: composition, transcription and performance, especially
focusing on Cassado's plural and multi-facetted creativity, which
is examined from both cultural and historical perspectives.
Cassado's role within the evolution of twentieth-century cello
performance is thoroughly examined, including a discussion
regarding the musical and technical aspects of performing Cassado's
works, aimed directly at performers. The study presents the first
attempt at a comprehensive catalogue of Cassado's works, both
original and transcribed, as well as his recordings, using a number
of new archival sources and testimonies. In addition, the
composer's significance within Spanish twentieth-century music is
treated in detail through a number of case studies, sustained by
examples from recovered score manuscripts. Illuminated by
extraordinary source material Gaspar Cassado: Cellist, Composer and
Transcriber expands and deepens our knowledge of this complex
figure, and will be of crucial importance to students and scholars
in the fields of Performance Practice and Spanish Music, as well as
to professional cellists and advanced cello students.
