Jacques Offenbach was not only one of the most successful composers of his time, but also an incomparable virtuoso on the cello - his ravishing playing in the salons of Paris caused many a swoon among the (female) audience. Under the opus numbers 49 to 54, he also presented a cello method in the form of duets of progressive difficulty. Offenbach would not be himself if the work did not meet the very highest standards both from an educational and a musical-compositional point of view, with an always typical naturalness and originality of style. All six volumes are equally suitable as a method of cello technique, duet playing, for enjoyable music-making at home as well as forconcert performances. The new edition in the Offenbach Edition Keck OEK complements the modernly edited music material by adding online links to audios ofthe individual parts as well as the duets in harmony.

The latest volume of Chamber Music for Violoncellos contains four sacral works, two of which were arranged for cello quartet by the editor of the series, Árpád Pejtsik. Both Angelus!, Liszt's piano piece of ethereal beauty, and the Kyrie of Mozart's Requiem, an irresistibly surging four-part fugue, are magnificent when played with the immensely rich sound of the four cellos. The second part of the volume contains a pair of inspired works by two prominent cellists and composers of the 19th century: Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Fitzenhagen's Consecration Hymn and Friedrich Grützmacher's Ave Maria. While an instrumental skill of at least intermediate level is required for playing the upperparts due to the use of higher positions, the lower parts can be performed by beginner cellists. The editor has assisted the appropriate interpretation of the works by providing the fingering and bowing.
