A minor Cello Concerto

By Johann Wilhelm Hertel

In this excerpt from the slow second movement, Adagio poco andante, the cello enters and states a simple theme, then explores thematic ideas before being joined by violins (mm.14-15) and tender broken thirds. It then resumes the melodic role (mm. 15-20) with a lengthier, more unsettled passage full of syncopated rhythms, 32nd notes, and grace notes. An audio sample of the excerpt, featuring principal cellist Phoebe Carrai of the Boston Early Music Festival orchestra, can be found by clicking on the link, below.
