Basic posture and bow hold -- The left arm and hand, and scale fingerings -- The bow in motion -- Playing with expression : portamento -- Playing with expression : vibrato -- Vibrato and portamento in early cello recordings -- The manly cello? -- Gender in action : performing the cello -- Conclusions and speculations
This innovative study of nineteenth-century cellists and cello playing shows how simple concepts of posture, technique and expression changed over time, while acknowledging that many different practices co-existed. By accepting the diversity and ambiguity of nineteenth-century sources, and by resisting oversimplified solutions, Kennaway has produced a nuanced performing history that will challenge and engage musicologists and performers alike
