360 degrees cellist
Updates from our workshop
Today it’s Friday! But we were not totally conscious of this, it felt more like Monday! We arrived home yesterday evening after ten much-needed days of relaxation at the seaside, and today, we had to deal with those many little things you have to deal with when you are back from a holiday. Plus, I (Daniela) didn’t feel 100% well, probably coming back to the mountains got me high blood pressure.
Anyway, in the late afternoon, we enjoyed the visit of cellist Cristoph Habicht from Heidelberg. Inspired by the experience of Lucia Swarts, who wanted to try to play da Spalla to get a deeper insight into Bach’s intentions, Cristoph Habicht got in touch with us to come and try our instruments to see if playing horizontally is feasible for him. We enjoyed our time together, and we are grateful because the Violoncello da Spalla allows us to get in touch with enthusiastic and open-minded players. This gives sense to our research and making.
As a side effect of this, you are not getting the usual 3-parts newsletter today, sorry!
