My late husband Stephen Kates was a famous concert cellist. What he wasn’t famous for was most likely his greatest gift to society; he told children’s stories on his cello. As a young man he left New York to study with the great cellist Gregor Piatigorsky. He had some relatives in Los Angeles who he stayed with when he first got to there. Aunt Sarah and her husband ran a kinder garden. As Steve was living in the kinder garden they asked him to play for the little children. He did it so often that he became an expert at telling children’s stories that he would make up on the cello. He would take themes from famous cello concertos or solos to be different animals in the woods or use the opening of Stravinsky's right of spring to have the elephants coming in from the jungle. He played harmonics to be a mosquito and chromatic double stops to be an airplane taking off. I found the adults enjoyed his stories more than the children as in our circle of friends there was seldom a non musician who didn’t know the themes of the pieces he played to be the different characters in his stories. The only musician I’ve seen commercialize this fun way to enjoy music was the famous Danish pianist Victor Borge. We should only continue this way of thinking to enjoy music even more.
