The polyphonic Violoncello

with the Ionian University Violoncello Professor

Ioannis Toulis

One of the most important guitar characteristics is to accompany itself. An enviable capability for the other string instruments; to play the melodies and the harmonies at the same time, without the need of another instrument. The violoncello may have two string less compared to the guitar, but it still tries to achieve that same polyphonic independence.
