"Ashokan Farewell" -J. Unger, solo cello

Happy #AllSaintsDay a time to remember and honor the dead. I have played this tune at few funerals in recent memory. The tune was written in the 1980's but is so closely related to The Civil War. Either way, it's a beautiful tune for this day on #cello (finally!)

The same "Antonio Stradivarius" would come back to beg you for a song in his artwork. Such an engel playing schönen Melodie.

Was that top note at the end an A or G

[@KatieTheCellist]

Neither! I'm playing a D over an F# Thank you!

Why does a Cello not have Frets like a Guitar?

[@KatieTheCellist]

Your guess is as good as mine!

[@sanfranciscobay]

@@KatieTheCellist I did a search on google with the question and there is a lot of information about it. I'm unable to summarize it at this moment.

[@KatieTheCellist]

Ok! But I'll keep working hard on my fret-free instrument!!

@@KatieTheCellist I cannot add a link because it gets deleted. On the website, "Violinist daught calm", search "Why do violins have no frets?" and you'll see a lot of comments on why. I don't have the experience to summarize it.
