Part two of our series dedicated to Friedrich August Kummer, a renowned cellist whose specific works have nonetheless fallen into oblivion. Here, we offer an exclusive recording, freely available as part of our cello-focused music wiki project, the Cello Archive Project. This is the second movement of Kummer's Duo III, Op. 22, and a major surprise! Tucked between two movements, this nearly six-minute piece is a Swiss Scene with variations! Dated 1835, it is reminiscent of Sebastian Lee's Swiss Scene, performed at the Théâtre Italien in Paris in 1837. This genre reflects the migration of 19th-century Romantic artists to Switzerland in search of inspiration. We have already written about this here: https://sebastianlee.org/.../flower-power-helvete-et.../...

Now, we invite you to listen to this very characteristic Swiss Scene by Kummer, performed by Mathieu Moriconi: https://youtu.be/HVjtFlqP8-8

We begin a series dedicated to Friedrich August Kummer (1797-1879), a relatively well-known composer, though some of his works have been forgotten. Today, we invite you to listen to a rare, never-before-recorded piece: Duo III from his Opus 22. The first movement, Allegro, is just a taste of what's to come, because believe me, this duo holds a delightful surprise in its second movement. For now, let's listen to the Allegro, movement 1: https://youtu.be/8BnfXqE3M5Q
