My lifelong aspiration has been to write a piece of music which enraptures the soul of the listener whilst transporting them to another plane.
My desire is also to challenge the musician by offering them the opportunity to demonstrate their mellifluous prowess.
For some time I have been attempting to create a composition that encompasses both these aims.
The cello is considered to be the closest sounding instrument to the human voice thereby offering it a special place in the harmonious universe.
Over the centuries, Chopin, Shostakovich, Hayden, Schumann and many more have written pieces for the cello, but each of them left me wanting more. I feel I can provide it.
It is with humble pleasure I present to you Keiramblé’s Étude for Cello opus 48.
My student sits, legs akimbo, bow poised. I raise my baton, and the second I sweep it she begins to play … oh gawd, it’s awful. STOP!
That’s another Étude down the bloody drain like E47, E46, E45, E44………

A brilliant composition! Not E-48–just the story. 😉 I was hoping you’d give us a sample of the music.

I imagine every composer had a few failures, though probably not 48! Thanks, Margaret.
