33 pieces for violin and piano which are fun to play - this is what the new anthology of Wolfgang Birtel in the Violinissimo series has to offer! In addition to Joplin's eponymous work The Entertainer, the volume contains many other pieces .from classical .to .music on the lighter side, e.g. Fucik, Einzug der Gladiatoren, Rubinstein, Melody in F or Abreu, Tici Tico, Villoldo, El Choclo, Lincke, Berliner Luft, and other easily playable, but also lesser known, yet rewarding pieces.

This volume from the popular 'Cellissimo' series contains 37 popular recital pieces from classical to pop music. It is suitable for lessons, performances and competitions. As there is little literature for the cello in jazz and pop style, this volume has a special focus on modern styles such as blues, jazz, pop, rock, funk, folk, Latin, or tango. The selection motivates and introduces to playing techniques of pop music (slide, hard chop etc). Many pieces can be played in the 1st - 4th position, while some also use harmonics or the 5th - 7th position. Entertaining music has existed at all times, so the volume also contains arrangements of popular classics: 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik' by Mozart, 'An der schonen blauen Donau' by Johann Strauss, 'Pomp and Circumstance' by Edward Elgar, or 'The Entertainer' by Scott Joplin. The motivational package for cello lessons!
