Just had to post this too, its a long one though...

The Performance starts at roughly 13.30 with the Allegro Vivace
Andante, Second Movement at 24.20
Scherzo: Presto, Third Movement 32.40
Andantino, Allegretto, Fourth Movement 37.30 (my favourite)
Allegro giusto, Fifth Movement 46.10

21,23,24,26, I can't believe they are all younger than me! and Schubert was 22 when he wrote it.

The difference a good teacher can make.....

Simply, my favourite. You'll find no Yo Yo Ma here!

I play in the the amauture 'Longwell Green Orchestra'

Currently playing on my own... Bloch 'Prayer' from Jewish Life, this is the best version I have found on You Tube, with Ashley Bathgate



This piece is a challenge for me and the first one I have played to use 3 clef's Bass, Tenor, and Treble. Also I am playing lots of beginner thumb position from the Rick Mooney book, and playing from Position pieces for cello by the same guy.

Looking at doing grade 8 in the next few years, but theory and sight reading needs to get up to scratch first.

A good website to help with theory.
