Violoncello Music for Beginners Vol. 1

Violoncello Music for Beginners Vol. 1

$28.99

Edited by Pejtsik, this collection is wonderful for students looking for music that stays within first position but offers a variety of rhythms. This book does not have any suggested fingerings which (with any luck) they don’t need!  Playing “by number” isn’t a habit one wants to get into, so this is a book that challenges you in a familiar range of notes.

  • Violoncello Duets for Beginners, Volume 2 (2 cellos)

    Violoncello Duets for Beginners, Volume 2 (2 cellos)

    Edited by Pejtsik.  This is not what we would consider “for beginners.”   The first piece in this book is in tenor clef, but there is only one other — and one with the Cello I in treble clef.  Pieces are not arranged by difficulty, so you will find easier pieces that stay in bass clef, no higher than 4th position, with fingerings provided. Cello I and II parts vary in difficulty in this volume, so an advanced cellist can play with a less accomplished partner. Like the earlier volume, even if you’re in familiar territory with notes, the rhythms are challenging.

    J.S. Bach – Canon cancrizans, Inventio in re minore; Beethoven – Marcia alla turca, Contredanse; Dotzauer – Andante con variazioni; Fiore – Trattenimento; Gabrielli – Balletto e Giga; Handel – Air; Haydn – Andante; Hook – Rondo; Kummer – Tema con variazioni; Mehul – Allegretto; Mozart – Divertimento; Offenbach – Two Duos; Pleyel – Duo; Reger – Canon im alten Styl; Stiastny – Fuga; Telemann – Sonata or Canon; Vivaldi – Adagio e Allegro

  • Preusser - Duets for Fun (2 cellos)

    Preusser – Duets for Fun (2 cellos)

    This collection was formerly published as Treasure Chest of Duos.  It includes 50 original works from the Baroque to the Modern era, presented in progressive order of difficulty. Includes music by Gabrielli, Haydn, Mozart, Offenbach, Bartók, and others. Music is presented in score form with both parts on a page. Pieces start in first position and gradually advance through 4th but move through multiple key signatures, have trickier rhythms.  It’s nice to be in a comfortable note range when adding challenges.   There are a few pieces in 3 and 4 sharps.  Edited by Elmar Preusser.  This is a grow-with-me volume and might make good sight-reading material when teaching students at multiple levels.
