Once you give up thinking about it: that's not a cello!

Reminds me of the middle movement of Schnittke's 1st cello sonata, although my memory of it is distant. Playing now :)

Edit: I can't find this specific part, but there are many similar devices which make me think that it cannot be far from this guess... It is much less abstractly weird than the movements I sampled, though.

Not a cello???

Maybe Lethe is onto something....a Viola Sonata by Schnittke?

Shostakovich: Viola Sonata
Didn't sound like that. More Schnittkelike.....but obviously not that either?

Penderecki? Don't know of any Viola Sonata, sure it's not a violin?

No, the voice is too deep to be a violin. We need Columbo here!

It is most certainly a viola, gents.

It's not by Krein or Frid (from Naxos' "Soviet Viola" CD)...

Nor by Juon (whoever he was)

How about Bohuslav Martinů - Sonata for Viola & Piano (1955)?

It seems to have an Eastern Europe / Russian sound....maybe we're off track with that
