Composed by Joseph-Marie-Clément-Ferdinand Barone dall'Abaco. Arranged by Richard Willmer. This edition: pdf. Baroque, Classical, Historic. Individual part. 8 pages. Richard Willmer #1124976. Published by Richard Willmer (A0.1552545).
Joseph-Marie-Clément-Ferdinand, Baron dall'Abaco (1710-1805) was the Brussels-born son of the Italian composer Evaristo Felice dall'Abaco. He was a virtuoso 'cellist and composer, leaving us mostly works for his instrument.
Among his most significant works are his 11 capricci for violoncello, which I first heard performed by Kristin Von der Goltz, the Capriccio No 1 in c minor, to be more precise. Following a bit of research, I came across the only manuscript of the Capricci, housed in the Milan Conservatoire, which was surprisingly easy (for me, that is) to read.
Von der Golz takes some liberties with the score to be sure, but these liberties are most effective and some of them I have incorporated into these versions.
I particularly like Capricci I, V and VIII and these I have copied out and edited slightly.
In the Capriccio I these are the apoggiature in the repetition of the opening sequence in sections A and B. These are quite lovely, so why not keep them? Ditto for the embellishments in the repeats.
Otherwise I limited myself to adding some trills where they obviously had been erroneously omitted and correcting the bottom note of the chord on the last bar, which, in the manuscript is E and not C.
The Capriccio V in Bb major is much shorter and, in its original form, calls for no pizzicato. I have added indications following von der Golz' practice, but they can be, if felt to be inappropriate, ignored.
What attracts me in the Capriccio VIII in G major is the driving opening rhythm. I have added no indications, except for repeat suggestions (in the original only section A has a repeat) in sections B and A', following von der Golz' practice, but they can be, if felt to be inappropriate, ignored.
Metronome indications are also mine.
