Eccentric Melody: For Cello Alone, Part

Oliver Knussen's concise and effervescent Eccentric Melody occupies a small but important place in the solo cello repertoire and would enliven any recital. Composed as a double tribute for cellist Fred Sherry in his 50th birthday year to play to Elliott Carter on his 90th birthday, the 2-minute work is presented here in manuscript facsimile.
