Hi,
I am in urgent need of some advice about composing for solo violoncello. I am in a foreign country and have three days to compose a solo cello accompaniment to a vocal track.
I have some ideas in mind and would be really grateful of help in order to realise them.
Firstly I want to know what is the name for style of playing where the bow glides across the 4 strings playing broken chords lightly / sometimes can sound 'scratchy'? Does it have a name? How do you write it? How difficult is it to play?
Secondly, in order to play broken chords easily and in a flowing manner, what are the chord positions / inversions?
If anyone has any other pearls of wisdom related to composing for cello, I'd be delighted to hear them.
Many thanks!
