Cesar Cui, Orientale op.50, No. 90 for Cello  and Piano (Simrock)

Chin, Haydn Symphony No.60 1st Movement
This arrangement for strings is faithful to the original work with the added features of sharing the melodic lines, a slight editing of a few bars of the bass part, a violin 3 part and a keyboard realization. It is also an excellent way to develop Classical style spiccato in more advanced players.

Massenet, Meditation From Thais (IMC)
