Looking for a
Cello Book
I have been looking for a book that was listed in the bibliography
of The New Grove Musical Instrument Series, "The Violin Family" and
cannot locate it anywhere. The book is called "Everything you wanted
to know about the Baroque cello" by Nona Pyron, London, 1979. No
publisher was stated, so it may have been a journal article or other
non-book publication. Has anyone ever come across this book or
article? David, have you ever had a copy of this
book?
Thanks
Terry

Re: Looking for

Terry - this is a long shot but a Dr Nona Pyron is listed as a
teacher on the www.scyas.org website. The contact address is The
Southern California Young Artists Symphony
PO Box 543,Loma
Linda, CA 92354. Maybe they could help if it is the same Nona
Pyron?

It's not a
self-titled book
If i remember correctly "Everything you wanted to know about the
Baroque cello" is a chapter/section in the William Pleeth book
entitled "Cello". I think this book should be easier to find. If you
do not mind not owning it, i have borrowed it from my local library.

Re: Looking for

Doh - Christopher is right. The William Pleeth book 'cello' does
indeed have a chapter by Nona Pyron called An Introduction to the
History of the Cello. It's under Part Four, The History and
Repertoire of the Cello.
Maybe this is similar to the
previous book/article you saw Terry?

Re: Looking for

I have the Pleeth book in my collection of music books, but the
reference in the Grove book/article (1979) predates the Pleeth book
(1982) by three years. There is probably a lot of what is in the
baroque cello book I am looking for, in the Pleeth book, but I
thought it might be interesting to have both. The New Grove Violin
(1980) book, where I found the reference, also predates the Pleeth
book. I have sent an e-mail inquiry to the address in Allxya's
previous post to see if I can contact Nona
Pyron.
Thanks
Terry

I've got
it!
it is a reprint from an article in The Strad and in The American
Violoncello Society dated october 1978.
It gives no editor, or
ISBN number whatsoever, but if you want I can make you a copy.
