| Added by alfredo17, 04 Jun 2020 Jacques Offenbach (1819 – 1880) was born in Germany, but spent most of his life in Paris. He is considered to be the inventor of the modern musical comedy and composed more than 100 pieces for the stage. Less known is his activity as an outstanding cellist. Already in the age of 15 he started his first position as a cellist in the Opera Comique in Paris and soon he became known as a cello soloist. Later he played together with famous musicians of his time like Anton Rubinstein or Franz Liszt. Offenbach wrote 75 compositions for the cello. Among his works for cello and piano is the “Musette”, composed in about 1841. In the musical substance of this piece he fell back on a ballet of the 17th century. In order to play the piece with basset horn, we arranged the cello part to be used by this instrument. Since the piano part remained unchanged, existing piano parts (e. g. Robert Linau, Berlin, RL 28390) can be used. Sheet central : | Musette (3 sheet music) | | |||
