Improve Your Cello Skills by Playing Along!

[@Luis_Santos.]

Muito grato, Mestre !!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🎶🌹

[@katia-i3z]

Oh Super!!! I will be able to work on fluidity with you. Thank you very much for your video.

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Please do!

[@roxxglam]

Thank you Ilia for supporting our practice❤ Looking forward to these series of playing along and learning with you. Thanks again

[@stevegebhart8388]

Great idea. My teacher used this tactic periodically about 70 years ago. I always enjoyed those sessions and learned to listen as a result. Serves well for aspiring chamber musicians. Again, thanks for sharing your invites. They are well recieved and inciteful.

[@ChamberfestSemanaSanta]

Very useful, thank you for coming back with these series!

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

More to come!

[@julietavida]

Yeahhhh!!! Welcome back Piatti!!! Thanks a lot Illia!

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Thanks to your comment and from others I decided to return! 😊

[@alexandranabyonga9108]

Brilliant idea 🎉 thanks Ilia. Then I’ll have a practice buddy 😅. I am looking forward to it.

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Yes! I don’t know if you remember, but I have started many years ago these etudes. Unfortunately I was not satisfied with the result, but now, with all the upgrades, I am ready for it! Let’s practice together! 😃

[@alexandranabyonga9108]

@ yes Ilia I do remember. And you suddenly stopped 😀 but here we are again. Well done 👏

[@xxbstpagexx]

Brilliant. I really enjoyed playing with this video. I played each part several times. I’m looking forward to the next one. Thank you. 🙏

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

I am so glad to read that you enjoyed playing with me. I hope I am a good partner to play with! Next Saturday No. 2 will be out!

[@morrisahmed8264]

Thank you so much, it’s really great and so helpful. Best wishes

[@maroonkitty]

I enjoyed playing along so much! Thank you❤

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Glad to hear that! Many more duets are coming your way 😊

[@mickymel1974]

Thank you - 🤩 can’t wait to do!

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

You are welcome! I hope you will enjoy to play virtually with me. Many more are coming, so get ready 😎

[@sunnysleeps.]

currently doing this! also, if you remember me talking about the 1st cello suite prelude, now I'm onto the second cello suite! I'm doing the prelude and sarabande

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

I do! Congrats! Enjoy the journey! How was the winter concert?

[@sunnysleeps.]

@@IliaLaporevcellist it was great! i had a really fun time doing prelude

[@lakeninevah]

Fantastic! I’m using it to improvise in higher positions as well as an intonation exercise!!!

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Wonderful! Hope it will be useful! 😊

[@lakeninevah]

@@IliaLaporevcellist in many ways! Exploring harmony, for example! Playing with others and creating a conversation is the joy of being a musician!

[@hacarneiro]

Incrível Idea. Parabéns pela iniciativa, eu vou acompanhar e tocar siiim

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Bora tocar junto (virtualmente)! 😃

[@vickiparker8735]

YES! Yes!! YESSS!!!! Thank you SO MUCH. I NEEDED YOU TO PLAY WITH me!!!! Thank you thank you. This is so AMAZING!!!

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

You are welcome Vicki! I told you during our call that sooner or later I would reboot these series! Now is the time!

[@vickiparker8735]

@ yes. I remembered that. I can’t wait to play with. This is just so fun.

[@pipokatz]

Brilliant idea! It would be awesome if this series could be updated every week or two!

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

It will be! In the upcoming weeks there will be videos until No. 5! I started years ago, but gave up because back then I had less good hardware setup! Now it is much better :)

[@alexandranabyonga9108]

@@IliaLaporevcellist thank you. Much appreciated!

[@lordneeko]

Ooo yes!!! Thank you. I learn WAY more about my skill progression in intonation when I play along with others. I will be getting this if it is within my skill level

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

You are welcome! I have decided to do this kind of content as I know that it is very beneficial to play with others. We listen to the sound, intonation, we observe what others are doing,…so I hope this will be great for you. Did I mention that there will be many more coming?

[@MrVolosauro]

Grande idea. Complimenti. Non vedo l'ora di iniziare

[@grog0cean]

Awesome thank you for this!

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

You are welcome! Many more are coming!

[@k.p.6444]

Thank you so much, very helpful

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

You are welcome! Anything to make your cello journey inspiring and motivating!

[@urd4651]

Cool ....maybe I can start to try

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Sure, give it a try! This is not the only duet, many more pieces are coming, so you will have a nice library!

[@thorstenschmidt21]

Awesome, thank you Ilia ❤️👍

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

You are welcome!

[@francescomarozzi4828]

Great idea, thank you so much

[@k.grushka]

played along, looking forward to these series! one little wish - for music sheets to appear few seconds in advance (for example, when the metronome starts). thank you!

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Hope you enjoyed it! Thank you for letting me know. I am editing right now for the next one. When No. 2 comes out, please let me know if that would be better! Thank you for watching and playing together!

[@k.grushka]

​@@IliaLaporevcellist thank you for such helpful material and for taking a wish note to a consideration, it's very much appreciated! looking forward to the next parts

[@learn1231]

I'm so sorry. I found and downloaded the book. This is so helpful. You can create a seri snif videos for each exercise or certain page of the book. 😊😊😊thankyou soo Soo much. I will start tomorrow

[@learn1231]

I meant create mini series videos ....typos

[@mettevunsjensen4094]

Brilliant❤

[@vinyltarian]

This is a great idea. I wish something like this was available when I first started learning. Will you be going through the Piatti in order or will you mix in more advanced duets with the earlier easier ones?

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Good question! Initially, I am thinking to do them in order, but might throw here and there some more advanced duets. Also, Popper Easy Etudes (Op. 76a) will be done in the very near future. Lots of recordings to be done 😅

[@Henrik.Yngvesson]

This is great! Can you also make a version where you make mistakes and play slightly out of tune so we can learn to ignore it and be more comfortable in our self and not rely on your playing? That's the real challenge when playing with others 😜

[@alexandergieripaucarmaldon4407]

Finally!!!!!!!!

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

I know! 😄 Better late than never!

[@teom3711]

Merci pour cette magnifique opportunité, mais juste une question svp, 441 pour le La c'est le standard in USA? en italie c'est le 442

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

De rien! Oh, ça depends. Dans les orchestres ou j’ai joué il font le La a 441. C’est pour ça que je suis habitué avec 441. Mais c’est pas un grand difference entre 441 et 442. Bien a vous!

[@Henrik.Yngvesson]

[@learn1231]

Thankyou. Where can we download the sheet music from because I couldn't find it.

[@elainethorpe2333]

if you look just below the video, it shows how many views, etc., and then the lines ending "make beautiful music together. more." Hit the MORE button and it'll show you the link.

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

@elainethorpe2333 thank you for helping out!

[@dianededek2648]

Yeah:)

[@lynxes1]

It is great but it will be even better if the score is shown when the 4 beats are counted before starting.

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Yes, someone else just suggested! Next video will be with the new adjustments.
