Cello Sonata (Britten)
The Cello Sonata, Op. 65, is a work by the English composer Benjamin Britten. It was premiered in July of 1961 at the Aldeburgh Festival in Suffolk.
==History==
On 21 September 1960, a concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London introduced Britten to the cellist Mstislav Rostropovich. The programme included the British premiere of Dmitri Shostakovich's First Cello Concerto, performed by Rostropovich, alongside Britten's ''The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra''. The two composers shared a ceremonial audience box. Shostakovich later confided to Rostropovich:
After the performance, Rostropovich, already established as an obsessive commissioner of new works, pleaded with Britten to write him a piece for cello. The composer consented, and a year later produced the Cello Sonata, Op. 65. This became Britten's first of five major works written for Rostropovich over the course of the next decade – the others being the Cello Symphony and the three suites for solo cello. Britten's correspondence with Rostropovich reveals the composer's humility in the face of Rostropovich's reputation: he confesses "I may have made some mistakes" and quips that "the pizzicato movement will amuse you; I hope it is possible!"〔Reed, 278.〕 In the scherzo-pizzicato, one can immediately detect an indebtedness, in its timbre and counterpoint, to the Balinese gamelan tradition.〔Mervyn Cooke, ed., ''The Cambridge Companion to Benjamin Britten'' (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 1999), 250.〕 The final Moto perpetuo movement uses the DSCH motif (the musical transformation of Shostakovich's name) as a tribute to the composer who inspired Britten to write for cello.〔Julian Lloyd Webber, "Britten's Third Cello Suite," Strad 91 (Mar 1981): 796.〕
