{"product_id":"dimitry-markevitch-cello-story","title":"Dimitry Markevitch - Cello Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eTranslated from the French by Florence W. Seder, Dimitry Markevitch concludes his preface, or Prelude as he calls it: \"History, fact and personal anecdote blend here to provide a complete story of the instrument. May this book entertain you, help you to know the cello to the fullest, and lead you to love it as I do.\" Reading the book confirms that he has amply accomplished his aims. His qualifications for doing so are of the highest. Markevitch is a performer of considerable note and a teacher at both the Ecole Normale de Musique and Conservatoire Serge Rachmaninoff in Paris. He also has a keen interest in musicology and has edited many works for publication. The book is divided into three parts: \"The Instrument,\" tracing the history of the cello and cello bow from earliest times, \"The Performers,\" anecdotes of historical cellists plus a long section on Markevitch's friend Piatigorsky, and \"Great Moments for the Cello,\" development of cello repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Summy Birchard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51900625944861,"sku":"ALF0406","price":46.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/ALF0406.jpg?v=1782291201","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/dimitry-markevitch-cello-story","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
