J.B. Breval Sonata No 5 in G major Allegro Giocoso in Fast and Slow tempo

There is so much going on in this piece. It's so joyful, I found myself laughing in spots. There are some very tender moments as well. The commercial in the slow tempo is a drag.

My goodness. I haven’t heard or played this for a very long time. Will have to dig it out. I saw your teaser video on Twitter and had to come for a listen. This takes me back to my very missed and loved first cello teacher. Very lovely playing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌻🌻

Thank you! Sweet memories. I feel the same when I go back to music learned with my teachers. All the best!

Your playing is fantastic! Its a good idea to see nearly the thumb position. What level is this sonata?

[@Cellopedia]

This sonata is not included in Suzuki method. I think it is similar (advanced) level of difficulty to the last couple of books.

[@NoahEckman]

ah, memories!

[@Cellopedia]

I was thinking about our work together when I was recording this piece :)

[@pangpang-cheese]

Is there any way to make 4:12 easier? Is practice the only way?

[@Cellopedia]

This is a very tough spot. It will take a lot of time playing it in slow tempo. Your thumb will be very sore (it will get better later on), but it is worth it...

Slow tempo 4:49

What edition of the sonata is this version? In IMSLP there are two or three. Thank you.

[@Cellopedia]

I use International edition (Gaspar Cassado). I will put a link in the description. Thank you for listening!

[@pablodelia-celloclases4593]

Ok. I found that edition. Thanks for answering
