Cello Classics - 19 Pieces by 14 Composers for Cello and Piano, Intermediate to Advanced Level (Schirmer)

This is Book 2 of Duport’s 21 etudes series, edited and fingered by Leo Schulz. It follows Book 1 and comprises episodes 14-21, designed to improve finger agility and bowing techniques of intermediate to advanced cellists. 

Jean-Louis Duport, a renowned cellist, published “21 Etudes for Violoncello” in 1806, which became the fundamental reference point for cello teaching. The exercises have artistic value and are highly challenging. This recording is played with original instruments and historical bows, following precise philological criteria. It is a must-listen for cello enthusiasts and anyone interested in Classical era France.

Orchestral Excerpts for Cello Vol1

Concerto in D minor for Cello and Orchestra by Lalo (Durand)

Sing, Clap and Play Cello book1

This volume's musical text and articulation are based on the 1806 first edition of Janet et Cotelle of Paris. We've modernized fingerings and bowings to reflect cello playing today. The new edition is free from many elements added by various editors over the last 200 years, restores the etudes' original order, and includes the 2nd cello in a separate score. A brochure with comments on the etudes and references to their usage in standard cello literature, similar to the popular Popper Etudes, is also included.

• Fold-out pages for easy reading

• Ad libitum cello part included for improvisation

• Fingerings and bowings designed for modern cellists

• German/English brochure with playing tips and references to cello literature
