Sweet Music (Masterpiece Collection) - HUM 186/III HSC 69139093

Masterpiece Collection.

A lifetime of rhythm begins with a single note. Experience the grand resonance of the Sweet Music Masterpiece (HUM 186/III). As a premier entry in the prestigious Masterpiece Collection, this large-scale figurine features one of the most impressive instruments in the Hummel orchestra: the cello. Dressed in a vibrant green jacket, a red neck scarf, and a jaunty hat, a young musician sits comfortably in his slippers, completely at ease as he coaxes a beautiful melody from his strings.

This piece is a celebration of musical passion and superior porcelain scale. Originally known by the title "Playing to the Dance," this figurine captures the soulful concentration of a budding virtuoso. Being part of the Masterpiece series, it is hand-painted in Rödental, Germany, with enhanced attention to the wood-grain textures of the cello and the soft folds of the boy's traditional attire. Its significant size and artistic complexity make it a definitive focal point for any collector dedicated to the world of music and performance.

Whether you are conducting your own Hummel orchestra or building a gallery of grand-scale Masterpieces, this cellist pairs beautifully with these melodic companions:

• Let’s Sing (HUM 110/I): Add a woodwind and vocal element to your musical display with this classic boy, his bandoneon, and his singing bird.

• For Elisabeth (HUM 2431): Introduce a spirited vocal serenade to your collection with this 2019 Novelty and his howling canine friend.

• Ring Around the Rosie (HUM 348): Provide the perfect "musical" accompaniment for the four girls dancing in this fellow Masterpiece Collection icon.
