You who do not play the melody, don't you get tired of just "accompanying" ? Cellos? Tubas? Cb? etc.

Cellist here......The bo continuo is not an easy part to play!! The notes may be easy but keeping track of where you are is very difficult. (for me anyway). I use to call it the "mozart syndrome" where each line looks the same so you end up skipping lines or repeating them.....But as someone else mentioned, during the Romantic period on, us cellists get our share of interesting parts. I remember playing some Dvorak that was in violin range....and Mahler.....nummy.
