“Song of the Birds” by Casals and “The Swan” by Saint-Saens arranged by Edward Laut. Advanced repertoire with parts of uneven difficulty. Includes parts with score.
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 #2227] Originally composed for two oboes and English horn. Cello I is entirely in tenor clef and requires thumb position; Cello II is in bass clef moving briefly above 4th position for a B; Cello III barely moves out of first position to an occasional E. There are many octave jumps in the lower positions, many ungainly passages.
This sonata with basso continuo includes both parts in one booklet in score form, as well as a piano accompaniment so you can play it either way — or both ways. Cello I is largely in tenor clef, but the note range does not exceed 4th position G. Continuo in bass clef, easier rhythmically.
