It is a surprising fact of Beethoven's life that of all the categories of pieces he composed, there are more settings of Irish songs than of any other type of music. Scottish poet Robert Burns convinced a Scottish music publisher to commission Beethoven to set his own words to Irish airs. The death of Burns in 1796 ended the project, but Beethoven went on to harmonise and arrange the songs in 1814 through 1816, mainly, and they were published, though never achieved as great a popularity as a rival set by Thomas Moore.This simplified version for easy Cello and Piano was arranged by composer Hugo Cole, an accomplished cellist who was for many years a music critic for theGuardian newspaper.

This volume of works by the Viennese classical and romantic composers contains only transcriptions, and only from pieces for the piano. In most cases the right hand part is played on the violin, often alternating with or responding to the cello, thus the piano part is considerably easier than the original, and therefore accessible to children not yet capable of playing the original work. The selection includes the most popular pieces by the greatest composers (Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin and Grieg), such as, for instance, the second movement of the Mondschein-Sonate, and Träumerei.

Dieser Band beinhaltet ausschließlich von Klavierwerken transkribierte Werke aus der Wiener Klassik und Romantik. Die Melodie der rechten Hand wird meistens von der Geige, oft mit dem Cello abwechselnd, einander antwortend gespielt. Dadurch ist die Klavierstimme im Vergleich zum Original wesentlich leichter, also sie ist auch für Kinder zu meistern, die das Originalstück sonst noch nicht spielen könnten. In der Auswahl kommen die beliebtesten Werke der größten Komponisten (Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin und Grieg) wie z. B. der zweite Satz der ‚Mondschein-Sonate oder das ‚Träumerei' vor.

Friedrich Schneider is known today above all for his extensive oeuvre in the area of the oratorio. No less important, however, in addition to his symphonic work, is his group of works for piano and/or chamber music. His cello sonata in F major, with all four movements large in scale, was probably composed in 1831 for the daughter of the Cologne music patron, Dr. Erich Heinrich Verkenius. With its expressiveness, monumental structure, and post-Beethovenian sensuality, this sonata already seriously anticipates Romanticism. Our edition offers two solo parts: an unmarked original text as well as a version with fingerings and bowings by the Leipzig based cellist Jurnjakob Timm.
