Arranged by Wendy Bissinger. Cellos I and II require fluency in tenor and treble clef. Cellos III and IV remain in bass and are less challenging in range and rhythm.
[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.
This single booklet includes both parts in score form. Parts are of similar difficulty, and both have a mix of tenor and bass clef. However, the tenor clef often stays within 4th position. If you associate clef changes with notes above your comfort zone, if you can handle through A harmonic up to a possible B, don’t shy away from these.
Each part is in its own booklet. Cello I is a bit more challenging than II but both parts remain in bass clef to 4th position and A harmonic. It is rehearsal-friendly with measure numbers, but there are no fingerings provided. This may be a blessing if you know your fingerboard geography, and a curse if you’re a play-by-number kinda guy.
