This book has 3 parts in score form so if you have three cellists, consider purchasing three books. Cello I is all in tenor clef, Cello II in tenor and bass, Cello III all bass clef. Rhythmic challenges.
Parts are of uneven difficulty. Cello I requires fluency in treble, tenor and bass clefs. Replete with double stops. Cello II mostly bass clef with the exception of two measures where tenor clef is unnecessary, and a B-C in two measures where it is helpful. (Editorial choices mystify me). Cello III and IV are all in bass clef, with IV having easier rhythms and no double stops.
IMC #3705 is the 15 Easy Studies which precede the 10 Grand Etudes in Op. 76 preparing you for Op 73, the High School. Originally arranged by G. Woerl (who included cello II ad lib for Nos. 1-10), Enyeart wrote Cello II parts for the remaining five. The only other change we note is the inclusion of measure numbers. It is a single book with both parts in score form.
#3780 Edited by Jeffrey Solow. Each part is in its own book. Don’t confuse “easy” with “for beginners.” Range stays within bass clef, 4th position, but includes more complex rhythms, lots of double stops that are not against open strings, sections in 3 sharps and flats. No idea why this volume is so expensive, but it does include a lot of music! I find this to be fun and practical sight-reading material as the range of notes is comfortable, but the intervals and rhythms really show you where your geography shortcomings lie.
Each part is in its own booklet. Parts are of comparable difficulty, remain in bass clef and have a range through 4th position.
