The composer Gennady Grigoryevich Belov (born in 1939) — is the graduate of the Petersburg Conservatoire, where his teachers were V. Salmanov and D. Shostakovich. Being the Petersburg Conservatoire professor Belov creates a lot in the genre of opera, orchestral, cantata-oratorio, choral and chamber ones. Among his recent opuses there may be marked the vocal cycles, so as the piano pieces in two and four hands. Belov is the laureate of two International Composers’ Contests (1990, 1995).

The Partita for two violoncellos BACH–DSCH was composed in 1999 on the threshold of two most important dates — 250ieth anniversary since J. S. Bach’s death and the 25th anniversary since D. Schostakovich’s death. The Partita is the kind of dedication and tribute to these two geniuses.

The significant monograms of these composers coincide partially, i. e. they have two common letters-notes. Basing this regularity Belov unites or divides the motives constructing the whole canvas. The baroque spirit inherent to Bach and Shostakovich dominates here both in thematical elaboration and just the manner of thinking.

The premiere took place on March, 2000 at the author’s concert of Gennady Belov (St. Petersburg Conservatoire, Glazunov Maly (Small) Hall), in May, 2000 the Partita was represented at the festival «Musical Spring in Petersburg» (the Composers’ House). 

The Partita is recommended for educational and concert repertoire.
