In this masterclass, Clive Greensmith demonstrates how to bring out the spirit and the different characters in the first movement of Dvorak’s Cello Concerto. He discusses the repetitive nature of the main theme of the movement, and how the performer must find ways to vary it in bow stroke, dynamics, and mood to keep the audience interested. He also shows the student where he can evoke certain imagery or emotion to better tell a story.
Additionally, Greensmith provides several alternative bowings that serve the music more effectively. Likewise, he helps his student find a sound that is full and expressive, but does not use unnecessary force. Finally, he stresses the importance of knowing what is happening in the piano and/or orchestra sections while always maintaining a tempo, articulation, and quality of sound that aligns with it.
What we learn:
- Finding ways to vary the repeated material.
- Keeping in time with the piano or orchestra.
- Capturing the spirit of and characters in the music.
- Finding the most effective bow strokes.
- Conveying loud dynamics or passion without forcing the sound.

Thank you! Funny enough, my other favorite class has Prof. Greensmith as the pupil of Paul Tortelier!

Dvorak would be proud.

Lacks urgency. Very beautiful, but if just with a little more energy.
