The Marcello Sonata in A Minor for Cello and Piano (Schott) is a Baroque work by Italian composer Benedetto Marcello (1686–1739). Characterised by expressive melodic lines, clear formal structure, and contrasting tempos, the sonata reflects the elegant Italian instrumental style of the early 18th century. The cello’s lyrical writing provides valuable opportunities to develop phrasing, articulation, bow control, intonation, ornamentation, and stylistic interpretation, while the piano accompaniment supports the musical dialogue.
