Lee, 40 Melodic Studies for Cello Op. 31 Bk 1 (IMC)
Sebastian Lee was a virtuoso cellist who wrote a collection of etudes in the 19th century. These etudes became a standard work for cello lessons at the Paris Conservatoire. Even today, they are considered relevant for thorough technical training and education. The new edition of the etudes is available in two volumes, and any deviations from the original have been marked. The new edition also includes valuable tips and suggestions for practising.
Sebastian Lee (1805-1887) was a German cellist and teacher who worked in France and Germany. He studied under Johann Nikolaus Prell and played at the Paris Opéra.
