What's the music?

Mosa Tsay Cello
Guilherme Nardelli Monegatto Cello

Cello, there! We're two cello friends who will perform cello duos from the era before a cellist invented the endpin - when cellists held their instruments off the floor using just their knees. According to folklore, a cellist's protruding belly prevented him from holding the instrument properly, so he invented the endpin.
