Bass fiddle spotlight
A cello solo is a musical passage or complete piece performed by a single cellist, either unaccompanied or as a featured part within a larger work where the orchestra recedes to let the cello shine: The cello solo in the second movement brought the audience to tears.
The term also describes standalone performances by a cellist at a recital or concert.
