These programmes feature both central and lesser-performed works for cello. In his famous essay ‘Brahms the Progressive' Anton Webern's teacher Schoenberg discusses Brahms's holistic approach to composition, of developing an entire work from a single motif. The first explores the influence of this on Webern, first in Two Pieces (1899) and then Three Little Pieces Op. 11 (1914). The second presents the virtuosity of the cello with a Boccherini cello sonata and duos by Menotti, Popper and Paganini. The third combines two very different styles from the beginning of the twentieth century: the Russian romantic, Rachmaninov, with French impressionist, Debussy.
