The BA-BA of the cello by Anne Sila
Want to play the cello ? It’s never too late to get started.
The singer explains how to understand this impressive instrument and how to play it. First element, the cello is played in two ways, “in pizz”, that is to say with the fingers which are used to pluck the strings, or with a bow. To play the cello, you need patience”It’s not like on the guitar where you can see the marks. So when we are children we put two scotch tapes on us, that way we can see where the good position is and that way we can do our scales. and as we remove the tape and so we can play in other positions.”
Anne Sila also explains why the cello is, in her view, a marvelous instrument. On the one hand there are different sounds he proposes, fast and stopped, long and melancholic, vibrant, and the joy that it gives him to play in the heart of an orchestra. “I think one of my favorite things is really to decipher a piece, when you decipher it in the orchestra that you play it with 50 people around you, it’s incredible.”
