Klaus Döring's Classical Music/Klaus Döring's Klassische Musik

by Janet Horvath August 29th, 2022 You’ve probably heard the cello on numerous occasions either because you love its deep baritone sounds or because the cello is used whenever someone dies in a movie. The cello—its vibrant sounds so close to the human voice—is the perfect instrument to portray a melancholy or heartfelt or gripping mood. What if I told you the cello is the best icebreaker too?   We cellists never get used to the endless quips, (Don’t’cha wish you played the flute?) and the original jibes (that’s bigger than you are!) Large trunk for cellos Traveling with a cello is never without issues. When you’re a member of an orchestra and you go on tour, large trunks—coffins we call them—house two cellos in their cases. Loading them into the trunk before the stage managers wheel the trunks onto trucks, or locating the trunks in the maze of the venue backstage to retrieve your cello in time for the rehearsal or concert can be challenging. If you travel as a soloist you mus...

 by Frances Wilson   February 4th, 2026 Do you remember the first piece of music you learnt as a child? Girl playing the piano The journey of learning to play the piano is a great deal more than the acquisition of a skill; it’s a wonderful voyage of memory and emotion. The memories of piano pieces learned during childhood or as students often linger in our minds – and indeed our fingers – creating a mosaic of experiences and memories that extend far beyond the piano keyboard. As musicians, we can easily relate to this – the memories of those pieces – where we learned them, with whom, and who taught us – and these memories only deepen with time. Music learned in our formative years often carries an emotional resonance that transcends the notes and rhythms. The melodies become intertwined with the memories of our youth, evoking nostalgia. These pieces serve as sonic bookmarks in the chapters of our lives, preserving the emotions felt during each practice session and performance....

  by  Emily E. Hogstad    February 5th, 2026 Artists and composers are famous for their wild love lives. Turns out, their love letters are just as fascinating as you’d expect. Today, we’re looking at love letters from ten composers, including Mozart being very saucy on a business trip,  Brahms  pining over  Clara Schumann , and  Haydn  making a shocking confession to his mistress. Joseph Haydn, 1791 Joseph Haydn In these two love letters to his mistress, singer Luigia Polzelli, Haydn writes about her husband’s fatal illness…and longs for “four eyes [to] be closed”, a reference to his hope that his own wife will die, too! London, 14th March 1791 Most esteemed Polzelli, I am very sorry for you in your present circumstances, and I hope that your poor husband will die at any moment; you did well to put him in the hospital, to keep him alive… London, 4th August 1791 Dear Polzelli! …As far as your husband is concerned, I tell you that Providence h...

  by  Georg Predota    January 26th, 2026 When   Jacqueline du Pré   (1945-1987) stepped into a recording studio in August 1965 to record   Edward Elgar ’s  Cello Concerto in E minor , Op. 85, with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir John Barbirolli , the world first fully sensed the emotional intensity and communicative power of her playing. At just 20 years of age, this electrifying performance secured her international reputation almost overnight, transforming her into one of the most celebrated classical artists of the 20th century. That single recording of Elgar’s concerto has remained in print for decades and, for many listeners and musicians, stands as the definitive interpretation of the work. Jacqueline du Pré But to remember Jacqueline du Pré only for Elgar is to undervalue the breadth of her artistry. Though her career was tragically brief, curtailed by multiple sclerosis in her late twenties, she left behind a rich and varie...
