My cello lineage
I have always been fascinated by this, and why pianists (in my experience) often trace their lineage, but that cellists seldom do. I originally laid this out with indentations, which wordpress does not seem to allow, so I have tried to organize this as follows. My various teachers are in bold, their teachers are in italicized bold (with a teacher’s students appearing in italicized parenthesis). Their teacher’s teacher, appears after “studied with”, and their teacher’s teachers appear after “who studied with”. I hope that makes sense!
The lineages are given according to the resources I could find under the circumstance, and are not by and large, duplicated. It is funny to me how many of them go back to Franchomme, whose Etudes and Caprices I recorded (not knowing any of this) 30+ years ago, merely because I thought he was a fascinating guy who wrote some lovely and neglected music.
