Question
Hi, I've been pining on this certain piece for about 3 days now despite my best efforts. I have contacted my conductors in New York, and some of my close cellist friends. This is a link to the piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5-o5MSsQao

Please and thanks for the help!

Answer
I didn't recognize it, but, I think, some quick google searching turned up that it is an etude by Mikhail Jewsejewitsch Bukinik.

Mikhail Jewsejewitsch Bukinik (Russian Михаил Евсеевич Букиник) (1872–1947) was a Ukrainian cellist, composer, music educator and music critic of classical music.

His four concert etudes for the solo violoncello are also suited for concert performances. These études were compulsory cello pieces at the prestigious International Cello Competition in Markneukirchen in May of 2005.
