The master discusses the character of the sonata and Prokofiev&#8217;s intention to create a composition that would pass the Soviet artistic &#8220;censorship&#8221; of the time. However, it should not be interpreted too seriously: it employs popular melodies and elements (as in the 2nd movement) and contains many jokes and burlesque connotations. He then plays and gives some indications for the phrasing of the beginning of the first movement. For the subsequent pizzicato arpeggios, he suggests the student move her fingers in a more circular motion and resonate with more vibrato. In the following excerpt, J\u00e1nos Starker corrects the phrasing, and the large intervals require more time, so he recommends not playing metronomically but taking more time to execute those leaps. Later, there are indications regarding fingering, and he reviews the tempo for a passage that is like a mocking laugh, likening it to a Donald Duck race, thus not a marching tempo.<\/p>\n<p><em>Language: English<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"ciclo":[160],"curso":[1888],"instrumento":[175],"obra":[501],"profesor":[1890],"class_list":["post-86514","video","type-video","status-publish","hentry","ciclo-lecciones-magistrales","curso-1999-00","instrumento-violin","obra-sonata-para-violonchelo-y-piano-en-do-mayor-op-119","profesor-janos-starker"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>J\u00e1nos Starker: Prokofiev - Cello Sonata Op. 119 - I.
