Summary of This Book
This collection offers a selection of arrangements designed to bring out the finest qualities of the cello: lyrical melodic lines, phrasing, expressiveness, and sound work. The easy to intermediate level makes it an excellent resource to consolidate intonation, bow control, position shifts, and interpretation, while playing well-known and motivating themes.
It features a panorama of essential pages from the repertoire and tradition, ranging from lyrical melodies to character pieces, with a balance between poetry, elegance, and more brilliant impulses. It is a valuable resource to vary styles throughout the year, build an audition program, or simply enrich your repertoire with pieces that "sound great" quickly.
The table of contents highlights major composers (Debussy, Chopin, Brahms, Schubert, Bach/Gounod, Dvorak, Grieg, Massenet, Bizet, Handel, Elgar, Saint-Saëns, Wagner...), as well as very popular airs and songs, perfect for working on musicality and legato.
