cello charlie concert erin hate jealousy love music orchestra vivaldi

Erin plays the cello in Juilliard's most prestigious orchestra, and she's first chair. She's desperate to make her parents proud, so she practices incessantly and focuses solely on her music.

Then, Erin's orchestra starts playing Vivaldi's Concerto for Two Cellos, her all time favorite piece. She would be thrilled, if it weren't for the fact that her duet partner, Charlie, is a total slacker.

Unlike Erin, Charlie has made it to the top by sheer luck, and god - given talent. 

He parties, she studies.
He drinks, she practices.
He scrapes by, she gives it her all.

One thing's for sure - put these two together, a combination from hell, and everyone is bound to be a thousand miles from comfort.All Rights Reserved

The Swan by JaideHarley

***COMPLETE*** Series coming down Nov 1st He asked me to tell him why I loved the cello and I told him but I wasn't expecting his response. "The way you describe it is so beautiful. Reminds me of what it feels like when you're really making love to someone." "Uh no. It's nothing like that," I said. "Oh I think it is. Perhaps you've never really had someone make love to you. It's euphoria and relaxation all at once if it's being done right. All those touches," he brushed his fingers against my neck and I shivered. "All the arousal," he stepped closer and dropped his head next to mine, his hot breath hitting my skin. "All the kisses in all the right places," he murmured, his lips brushing against my ear. "You can't tell me the feeling of someone filling you up and caressing your body slowly, over all the curves, all the peaks, into all the crevices while they move in and out of you, with you, making your own music with all the moans and whimpers." Emery Barner is in a long-time relationship with her highschool boyfriend, but things aren't going exactly great between them.

He never intended to want anything from her except her musical talent but the more time he spends with her, the more he finds himself wanting much more from her.

The Ecstasy of Sister Amata by AbiBee

Ten years after leaving their Catholic boarding school, three former classmates meet up at the headmistress's retirement, and find the past still has resonances in the present. This started as my attempt at the Open Novella Contest 2021 (20,000-40,000 words. This is at the upper end of this range.) It didn't get anywhere much, but it was an interesting experiment (and fun to plan and write). ** Music, particularly for organ, plays quite a rôle in this story. Instead of providing accompanying media, I'll list the pieces that feature here, for anyone who wants to chase them up. Apart from Beatrice's (which doesn't exist, obvs) they're all available on YouTube. -JS Bach: Passacaglia & Fugue in C minor (BWV 582) -JG Rheinberger: Sonata no.11 in D minor (Op.148), Cantilène - Adagio * Beatrice's recital: -JS Bach: Prelude & Fugue in G (BWV 541) -Dietrich Buxtehude: Two chorale preludes - 'Ach Herr, mich arme Sünder' (BuxWV 178) / 'Komm, heiliger Geist, Herre Gott' (BuxWV 199) -Joseph Rheinberger: Five Trios (Op.189 1-5) -Niels Gade: Tre Tonestykke (Op.22) -Maurice Duruflé: Suite pour orgue (Op.5): prélude -Beatrice Sullivan: Fantasia on 'Ave Maris Stella' -JS Bach: Chorale prelude on 'Mensch, bewein dein Sünde gross' (BWV 622) -Louis Vierne: Hymne au Soleil (Op.53) * For an idea of the sort of Passion setting Bea mentions in ch.8, try 'St Matthew Passion' by Orlando di Lasso. * (Written February-March-April 2021 )

Da Capo by StrawberryPajamas

Da Capo: a music term for 'from the beginning'. Starting all over again. At twenty-seven, Stephanie Ryan had to restart her life Da Capo. After being heartbroken by her ex-boyfriend Leon, Stephanie knew she needed a change. Music had always been her dearest passion in life, so on a whim she left her boring HR job in Boston to live in London with her friend and fellow violinist Lydia. Taking in the culture of classical music in the city would hopefully remind her who she truly was. Kyle Lancaster had been Juilliard's shining star two years ago: a concert pianist graduating at the top of his class, he soon became a well-known name amongst the classical music scene, selling out performance halls nearly every night while on tour. Now he's back home in London teaching a masterclass at the Royal Academy... but so is his ex, the famous violin virtuoso Chloe Alistair. Being here with her will no doubt be awkward, considering how his fans (and his publicists) expect the two of them to get back together. But one day before class, Kyle walked in on a red-haired woman practicing her violin all alone. He found her to be rude, tactless, and utterly infuriating... and before he knew it, all the plans other people had for his life came crumbling down around him. #1 in Violin - 11/2023 *COMPLETE*

Dibs! (Lesbian, GxG) by itsabadluckcharm

Before Jules interrupted Callie's lunch hour with a (not so subtle) "Dibs!", Callie was a quiet girl whose only priorities are good grades and better talent with playing her prized violin. Neither require having a girlfriend, especially the one who everyone at school assumes is a hard-core drug addict, judging from how she acts. Now Callie has to deal with "Junkie Jules" in public's eye instead of fading into the background, not to mention the scandalous rumors about her and Jules. And the disastrous icing to the dangerous cake? Jules will do anything to make Callie hers. Cover made by @Sugarpiecutie11 (ROUGH DRAFT) If you're interested in reading more of Callie and Jules's story, you can find it in my collection of shorts, Looking Forward.
