Duport, 21 etudes for cello (with optional 2nd cello accompaniment) - Barenreiter edition

This volume's musical text and articulation are based on the first edition of Janet et Cotelle of Paris in 1806. We have considered many of the fingerings in the print, especially those that are unusual and serve specific educational objectives.

This new edition of standard cello etudes is based on the first edition, and it is free from many elements added by various editors over the last 200 years. Rummel has modernized the fingerings and bowings to reflect cello playing today. He has also restored the order of the etudes as arranged initially by Duport. Additionally, the ad libitum 2nd cello has been brought back to life, and the new edition offers the 2nd cello in a separate score included in the edition.

Like the popular Popper Etudes (BA 6978 and BA 6979), the Duport edition includes a brochure with comments on the etudes and references to their usage in the standard cello literature.

• 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
