    Yo-yo Ma had given me a love of the Cello where I had previously loved classical piano because of my grandmother. Now at 50 - I have feared that in the years to come ... I will have no one left to stir my soul. But I fear no more ... I have Sheku. ❤️

    this piece always somehow reminds me of getting older, and whenever i listen to it i tear up at my childhood memories and how i’m now closer to being an adult than being a middle schooler... going into my junior year of high school, i’ve been playing the cello for 6 years now and music has been my passion for a while now, and thinking of getting older with it brings a tear to my eye...

      Came here to say that...a bit like the listener is getting whipped up and down. Slides here and there are very effective, especially when bringing out a specific character or note. A general rule of thumb that I use is to not slide twice in a row.
      Despite this, he has a gorgeous sound.
