Breval, Concerto 2 in D major for Cello

A favourite in developing cello repertoire, Jean-Baptiste Bréval’s Concerto No. 2 in D Major combines clear Classical phrasing with lively, technically rewarding solo writing. The commonly published cello-and-piano edition is arranged by Louis R. Feuillard and issued by Éditions Delrieu (DF 516). The work is especially useful for building position work, bow control, articulation, scales and arpeggios, while introducing students to the structure and demands of concerto performance. Its well-known Rondo is also part of the established pedagogical repertoire and has appeared in Grade 8-level cello syllabuses.
