Description

(String). This edition from the well-known 'Cellissimo' series features 37 widely recognized recital pieces spanning from classical to pop music, arranged for an easy to intermediate skill level. It is ideal for lessons, performances, and competitions. Given the scarcity of literature for the cello in jazz and pop genres, this volume emphasizes contemporary styles such as blues, jazz, pop, rock, funk, folk, Latin, and tango. The selection encourages and introduces techniques for playing pop music (such as slide, hard chop, etc.). Many pieces can be performed in the 1st to 4th position, while a few also incorporate harmonics or the 5th to 7th position. Entertaining music has always been present, thus the volume includes arrangements of beloved classics: 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik' by Mozart, 'An der schonen blauen Donau' by Johann Strauss, 'Pomp and Circumstance' by Edward Elgar, and 'The Entertainer' by Scott Joplin. This is undoubtedly a motivational resource for cello lessons!
