Structural characteristics of cello

The cello is structurally very similar to the violin. This instrument consists of four main parts, handle, strings, resonating bowl, and bow. The handle is the upper part of the resonating bowl where the tunings are located and the fingers are placed on it when playing. This instrument, like a violin, has four strings that are tuned to A (first string), D (second string), C (third string), and D (fourth string) respectively. Similar to the violin, the bow is made of horse hair and is stretched over the strings. The resonating bowl is also pear-shaped. The main difference between violin and cello is their size and how to play them. The cello has a metal stand that is placed on the floor and the body of the instrument is placed between the player's legs. This instrument is used in different groups of music styles including pop, jazz, rock, classical, and even folk music. Among the most famous cello players are Mstislav Rostropovich Rossi, Pierre Fournier, Luigi Boccherini, Adrien-Francois Serve, etc.

Music in Berlin

Since the 18th century, Berlin has been an influential music center in Germany and Europe. First as an important commercial city in the Union of the Hanseatic League, then as the electoral capital of Brandenburg and the Kingdom of Prussia, then as one of the largest cities in Germany, it developed an influential musical culture that persists to this day. Berlin can be seen as a platform for the growth of a powerful choir movement that played an important role in the widespread socialization of music in Germany during the nineteenth century. Berlin has three main opera houses: The Deutsche Welle, the Berlin State Opera, and the Komichi Opera. Many important music figures were born or worked in Berlin. Composers such as Johann Joachim Quantz, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, The Gran Brothers, Wilhelm Friedmann Bach, Karl Friedrich Christian Fash, Johann Friedrich Reichart, Karl Friedrich Zelter, etc. all belong to this city. In addition, Berlin is known as the center of music theory and criticism in the eighteenth century with prominent figures such as Friedrich Wilhelm Marporg, Johann Philipp Kronberger, Quantz, and CPA Bach, whose treatises are known throughout Europe.
