The Allegro is a song that you will surely find familiar, as it is very memorable in the movie “Music of the Heart”, starring Meryl Streep and Aidan Quinn.
This piece was composed by Dr. Suzuki and is very popular in student recitals.
Furthermore, it is important to mention that ‘Allegro’ by S. Suzuki is the eighth piece in Suzuki Cello Volume One.
This song is extremely energetic and is the first time students encounter contrasting characters, including a sweet phrase that stands out among the more bustling phrases.
The greeting is martelé and long, quick stops are introduced (at a very basic level) in the theme of ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’.
To interpret the piece optimally, it is important to pay attention to the various interpretation directions in the score, such as fermata, rit., and tempo.
Additionally, bow circles from ‘Song of the Wind’ are included at the end of each phrase to help the student better understand cello execution technique.
