The Romantic Age constitutes a high point in the history of the cello, following its rise in the 18th century. A number of works by important 19th century composers feature the cello, starting from Bernhard Romberg, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Lalo, through to Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák and Elgar, preparing the ground for the composers of the 20th century. At the beginning of the 19th century, there were several distinct schools of cello in France, Austria and Germany, Russia and England, in particularly the schools of Jean-Louis Duport (1749-1819) in France and Bernhard Romberg (1767-1841) in Germany. In Italy, however, after Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805), no Italian cellist of international significance emerged until Alfredo Piatti (1822-1901), whose concert successes led him to an active career as both performer and teacher.
The present conference aims to investigate the development of the violoncello in the 19th century, the performers, the cello repertoire for solo, chamber and orchestral music, and the schools of cello playing. The programme committee encourages submissions within the following topics, although other topics related to the general theme of the conference are also welcome:
The official languages of the conference are English, French and Italian. Papers selected at the conference will be published in a miscellaneous volume.
