Summary of This Book
The Grade by Grade series draws from the extensive Boosey & Hawkes catalog to offer accessible and musically rich pieces, perfectly suited to the requirements of Grade 2 level on the cello. The goal is clear: to provide a practical anthology that gathers, in a single volume, a repertoire diverse enough to support the student throughout their year of study, whether in lessons, at home, or preparing for an exam.
You will find a panorama of styles that stimulates listening and curiosity: excerpts and pieces from the classical and contemporary repertoire, educational pages, as well as arrangements of traditional music from various regions of the world. This approach helps develop essential Grade 2 skills: rhythmic stability, intonation in common positions, bow quality, articulation, phrasing, and sense of contrast.
The collection features composers such as Serge Prokofieff, Dmitri Shostakovich, Karl Jenkins, Carol Barratt, and Christopher Norton, and also includes arrangements of traditional music notably by Peter Wastall and Edward Huws Jones. The result: a coherent selection, designed for daily practice but also sufficiently "concertante" to be performed in auditions, classes, or small performances.
