This volume
from the popular
Cellissimo series
contains 30 entertaining
recital pieces, mostly
from the Romantic period.
In additionto three
original serenades by
Jacques Offenbach,
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
and the French composer
Mel Bonis, the volume
contains beautiful
character pieces, mostly
one-movement forms such
as berceuse, elegy,
humoresque, meditation,
melody, nocturne,
romance, tarantella,
valse de concert and much
more . Expressive lyrical
pieces are represented as
well as cheerful and
virtuoso works. In
addition to original
works, there are numerous
arrangements of popular
works, including
Schumann's Traumerei,
Grieg's Anitras Tanz,
Fauré's Après un rêve,
Elgar's Salut d'amour or
Rachmaninoff's Vocalise -
all pieces that are well
suited as concert and
encore pieces . The
volume also contains
rarities and new
discoveries, including
original works by cello
virtuosos such as
Dotzauer, Offenbach,
Goltermann, van Goens and
Trowell, as well as works
by composers Mel Bonis,
Juliette Dantin, Ethel
Harraden and Claudine
Smidt. The level of
difficulty is demanding
and is aimed at advanced
cellists. Many pieces use
the 5th-7th position,
others have passages in a
simple thumb position,
sometimes also with high
harmonics. They are
therefore very good
practice examples for
advanced users who want
to apply sophisticated
techniques to beautiful
examples of literature.
Last but not least, the
requirements for
expression and design
offer plenty of room for
cellist and musical
development.
