Duets are in a single book with both parts in score form. Parts are comparable in difficulty. Boismortier Sonate D major, Corrette Sonate C major Op 24, Dupuits Sonate D minor. Schott edition ED8785
[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.
These pieces can be played whether you are 2 cellos, 3 cellos or 4 cellos. Cello 1 requires knowledge of tenor clef and thumb position. Cello II is the most challenging as it has more shifting in neck positions. Cellos III and IV may be played by less experienced players. Contents: Fall Recollections at Dressing Table, Whether He Knows or Not, Little Cabbage, General’s Command, Jiaocheng Mountain, Elunchun Folk Tune.
