#2414 Op. 119, Nos. 1 & 2. Parts only; no score. Parts are in bass clef and of uneven difficulty with Cello I’s range just beyond the harmonic A. Cello II does not exceed the harmonic A. Cello III and IV are easier, fluent to fourth position
[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 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.
