Rachmaninov wrote the wordless Vocalise in 1912 originally for Voice and Piano. It is probably one of his most popular Vocal works famous for its beautiful soaring melody. This popularity has led the work to be transcribed for several instruments and this edition is for Cello with Piano accompaniment. Set for the ABRSM Cello Syllabus Grade 7.

Easy to intermediate arrangements designed to bring out the finest qualities of the cello. Includes folksongs dances and works by Debussy Chopin and Brahms. The cello part is also included on a separate insert.

Alongside Bach’s Solo Suites a further highlight for cellists are Beethoven’s five Cello Sonatas. They were published between 1797 and 1817 and thus cover a large part of Beethoven’s compositional lifetime mirroring important stages of his musical development. This revised edition incorporates the findings contained in the critical report of the Beethoven Complete Edition which was compiled at the same time. The Urtext edition hasbeen re-engraved but the proven page layout of the previous edition has been preserved. The renowned cellist David Geringas provided completely new fingerings and bowings for the cello part which also has excellent page turns.An unmarked Urtext part is also included.
