wether some novice in a BART station or a master like Starker who chose to reinterpret it several times.They offer a wonderful canvas for interpretation/mood/beauty/tonality/breadth of the instrument
which is why I have some two dozen versions.I believe that is where their strength and appeal reside.
I imagine they are as easy or difficult to play as one wants to indulge in.
Technically there are much more difficult 'cello pieces to explore.
