Cello Kalender

Each month of the year holds its own magic – a changing palette of moods captured in the Cello Calendar through twelve expressive ballads for cello and piano. From the soft bloom of May to the misty quiet of November, composer Magdalena König paints musical portraits inspired by the seasons.

The pieces cover a range from first to fourth position, occasionally reaching harmonics. Optional use of fifth position is possible for more advanced players. Some fingerings and bowings are provided, while other passages are intentionally left open to encourage individual interpretation.

Each ballad is accompanied by a beautifully designed calendar page, and high-quality MP3 recordings (full version and playalong) are accessible via QR code.
