Arranged by Jorge Espinoza for 7 cellos. Parts are of uneven difficulty. Cello I and II treble and tenor clefs. Cello III and IV tenor with some bass clef. V, VI and VII are progressively easier.
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.
#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.
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.
