About this title

Review:

A great fan of Minsky's previous compositions for cello, I was thrilled to see these 10 new pieces for solo cello. Minsky, who began his career as a rock guitarist before studying cello, has created an exciting style of modern cello playing which has its roots in American rock, pop, jazz, and blues . . . The pieces are well set out on the page with clear and effective bowings and fingering. Generally, these pieces are less difficult than Minsky's previous compositions and could be played by students from grade 5 through to 8. (Catherine Milligan, Stringendo October 2010)

About the Author:

American cellist, Aaron Minsky's compositions are standard repertoire, his music appearing in the curriculums of the ABRSM, the American String Teachers' Association, and the Australian Music Examinations Board. Aaron has given masterclasses and performances in the United States, England and Ireland, and Australia. Aaron Minsky is a D'Addario Artist and a Yamaha Artist. Also known as Von Cello, Aaron has appeared on radio and television and has performed with a wide range of artists from David Bowie and Tony Bennett to Mstislav Rostropovitch. Aaron's 'celtar' style (which combines cello and guitar technique) has entered both the popular and classical musical worlds. He had a broad musical education, studying with Harvey Shapiro and Channing Robbins of Juilliard, Jonathan Miller of the Boston Symphony, George Saslow, Einar Holm, and David Wells of Manhattan School of Music where he obtained a Master of Music degree.
