<p>Alright, so the other day I was in my car listening to the radio and I heard this BEAUTIFUL classical song with a sweet solo cello. It was the most beautiful thing i've ever heard. I was moved.</p>

<p>I grabbed my pencil so I could download or find this song later...</p>

<p>I wrote the following:</p>

<p>1881? 1889? can't see</p>

<p>co nee jay</p>

<p>bach strauss</p>

<p>cello soloist</p>

<p>Does anyone know what the song is? I think the title is pronounced something like co nee jay, except I couldn't hear clearly. This is driving me nuts!</p>

<p>definitely not bach
he's in the baroque period.</p>

3

<p>Brahms or Tchaikovsky perhaps? I know both composers composed some beautiful pieces, including some for cello, and they fit the time period (you're looking at late Romantic if the years are right)</p>

<p>Well, the most beuatiful cello solo I've ever heard is Faure's "Elegie," and that sounds a little like co-nee-jay.</p>

<p>Here's a CD on amazon with the piece: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000003FTT/qid=1129609122/sr=8-7/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i7_xgl15/002-4799502-6914406?v=glance&s=classical&n=507846%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000003FTT/qid=1129609122/sr=8-7/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i7_xgl15/002-4799502-6914406?v=glance&s=classical&n=507846&lt;/a>. Scroll down until you get to the samples and click on "Elegie." If this isn't the right piece, it's okay because you should hear it anyway!</p>

<p>Max Bruch's Kol Nidrei?
It's solo cello, and it's beautiful.</p>

<p>Max Bruch is such an awesome composer. He barely wrote anything, but right now I'm playing one of his concertos for violin.</p>
