Paul McMillan - Da Spalla to Viola

Tempo Rubato
About
Paul McMillan, violincello da Spalla & viola
The Violincello da Spalla is most likely the 5 stringed instrument for which J. S. Bach
wrote the Solo Suite VI in D Major S.1012. A small size cello with an addition of a top E string to its range.
Technically, Paul McMillan has found it comfortable to hold and play like a viola and thus is excited to present the Sixth Suite for the first time in Australia as was possibly originally intended.
Max Reger’s second solo suite from Opus131d, also in D Major brings us back to
familiar viola territory and a wonderful piece.
Th Opus 11 Nr 5 is the first of Hindemith’s 4 solo viola sonatas. The epic fourth
movement “In Form und Zeitmass einer Passacaglia” reminiscent of Bach’s Chaconne from the D minor Partita.
