Celloman presents: Arpezzato, a new style of Cello playing
In the beautiful acoustics of Rosslyn Hill Chapel, this entertaining and informative solo cello show discusses, through examples, the changing role of the cello in history, from bass instrument to melodic instrument.
Here, the cello is introduced as a harmonic instrument, much like the guitar, through a new style of cello playing called Arpezzato, a combination of the words ‘Arpeggio’ and ‘Pizzicato’.
Playing examples taken from his 2019 album Arpezzato Cello, Ivan uses finger techniques imported from the world of Rock/Pop, Blues and Jazz and applies them to the cello.
Ivan builds on the compositions through the addition of bowed melody and harmony where Ivan will duet with a virtual version of himself, performing pieces taken from his earlier album: Moods, Broods & Interludes
