[The Alwinac blog is part of the schroeder170 project, honoring the life and musical career of cellist Alwin Schroeder (1855-1928) and exploring the history of cello playing in the US.]


In honor of Alwin Schroeder’s 167th birthday, here are the Sarabande and Gigue from the Suite in E minor by Julius Klengel, his Leipzig cello colleague. This was Klengel’s very first opus (at least that has an opus number and was later published), written around 1874-5, when Schroeder was just starting his self-study of the cello.

    My Schroeder/Klengel post details their years together as the two leading cellists of Leipzig, 1880-1891.
