As a prestigious composer of the late 18th century Luigi Boccherini's (1743-1805) Rondo transcribed for the Cello by Paul Bazelaire contains many features which continue to make the composer's music popular and loved to this day. Known for his courtly gallant style Rondo originally composed for Violin and Harpsichord clearly exemplifies these qualities through the 2/4 time signature flourishing Cello lines and evocative chordal and rhythmic Piano accompaniment. Moreover syncopation rhythms and ornamentation heard throughout the piece create further excitement. All of these musical elementscombine to create a highly enjoyable piece for the Cello repertoire. In addition the clear print of separate Cello and Piano parts in this edition of Rondo add to this irresistable purchase for budding cellists.

This separate edition of the first suite for Cello solo by Johann Sebastian Bach contains the musical text of the well-regarded Wiener Urtext edition with all six Cello suites of Bach by Ulrich Leisinger. Thanks to new findings Leisinger managed to re-evaluate the sources which did not leave the structure of the musical text and the associated delicate problem of the slurs untouched. His re-evaluation gave reasons for a stronger freedom from the manuscript copy of Anna Magdalena Bach which had always been cited as main source until then despite its being very unreliable with regard to the articulation; thus the new edition leads to moreconvincing solutions. This separate edition is the perfect starting point to study Bach's suites for Cello solo in class and provides amateurs with a technically accessible masterpiece in Cello literature.

Sculthorpe uses the Plainsong Requiem Mass as the source material for this work for Solo Cello using the music to reflect the words of the Latin text. This is a most interesting concept particularly so as the timbral and expressive qualities of the cello seem appropriate for this type of work (or influenced-type of work at least). The cello has a very rich and warm tonal quality to it which Sculthopre exploits in this adventurous composition. This piece will present an enjoyable and most interesting challenge to both advancing and accomplished cellists alike.'. . .draws its inspiration from plainsong and maintains a wonderful sense of space andstillness.'Helen Wallace BBC Music Magazine October 1995
