Sonata Started 5/3/10

Boccherini Cello Sonata in C major G 6.

Dr. Uzur sent me a text message this week suggesting that I should start to work on this sonata. Like the last Boccherini piece that I played, recordings and videos of this sonata are somewhat rare. However, I have been able to find several, unlike the D major concerto. :D

I am very excited to get down to work on this Sonata, I am starting with the first movement, and it is very interesting musically. While it is certainly a Baroque Sonata, it has many elements of classicism. I can't wait to dive in.

Here is the only video recording of the sonata that I could find online:



It is quite a large contrast to the piece I played for my Jury last semester, it is nice to have variety. :D
