Joyce Geeting, on Cello, Performs the Kodaly Solo Sonata on her 220-
Joyce, World Class Cellist and author of Janos Starker: King of Cellists, performin the Kodaoly Solo Sonata, written by Zoltan Kodaily and considered one of the most difficult cello pieces to play. It made Janos Starker, Joyce Geeting's teacher and mentor, famous as a teenage protege in Hungary in the 1930s. Geeting performs the piece on her 220-year old cello. She performs all over the world and teaches at the Cal Lutheran Conservatory in Thousand Oaks, California. For more about Joyce Geeting go to www.joycegeeting.com<br /><br />Here is a description of the Kodaily Sonata from Kevin O'Donnell:<br />What makes the Sonata a great work? Firstly, and indispensably, inspired thematic invention. Consider the opening melody: a b-dorian, Hungarian-flavoured span of melody that makes you sense what it must have been like to hear Cicero in person launch the Phillipics against Mark Antony. You cannot strictly say that the first movement develops this theme, for it is never not there: the first movement is the theme. Yet there is no sense of redundant repetition either, such is the compositional technique.<br /><br />The slow movement extends cello technique into realms not previously imagined. Consider the extraordinary double stop trills on page 8 of the score, or the haunting deployment of left-hand pizzicati.<br /><br />The finale’s czardas will save you ever having to listen to another. The sound of the instrument is orchestral with its grinding open-string drones. At the extraordinary page 16, this orchestral timbre assumes a kind of Sibelian intensity and transcendence. Even in live performance you cannot believe one player and one instrument are doing it all. The rush to the end is breath-taking<br /><br />It has been truly said that this work by itself makes Kodaly one of Hungary’s greatest composers.

VIOLETTA (sola)
È strano! È strano! In core
scolpiti ho quegli accenti!
Saria per me sventura un serio amore?
Che risolvi, o turbata anima mia?
Null'uomo ancora t'accendeva -- O gioia
ch'io non conobbi, esser amata amando!
E sdegnarla poss'io
per l'aride follie del viver mio?
Ah, fors'è lui che l'anima
solinga ne' tumulti
godea sovente pingere
de' suoi colori occulti!
Lui che modesto e vigile
all'egre soglie ascese,
e nuova febbre accese,
destandomi all'amor.
A quell'amor ch'è palpito
dell'universo intero,
misterioso, altero,
croce e delizia al cor!
Follie! follie! Delirio vano è questo!
Povera donna, sola,
abbandonata in questo
popoloso deserto
che appellano Parigi.
Che spero or più?
Che far degg'io? Gioire,
di voluttà ne' vortici perir.
Gioir, gioir!
Sempre libera degg'io
folleggiare di gioia in gioia,
vo' che scorra il viver mio
pei sentieri del piacer.
Nasca il giorno, o il giorno muoia,
sempre lieta ne' ritrovi,
a diletti sempre nuovi
dee volare il mio pensier.

La Donna è Mobile - Giuseppe Verdi
La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento
Muta d'accento
E di pensiero
Sempre un'amabile
Leggiadro viso
In pianto o in riso
È menzognero
La donna è mobil
Qual piuma al vento
Muta d'accento
E di pensier
E di pensier
E di pensier
è sempre misero
Chi a lei s'affida
Chi le confida
Mal cauto il core
Pur mai non sentesi
Felice appieno
Chi su quel seno
Non liba amore
La donna è mobil
Qual piuma al vento
Muta d'accento
E di pensier
E di pensier
E di pensier...
