La Méditation sur deux thèmes de la Journée de l'Existence, opus 7, pour violoncelle et piano d'Ivan Wyschnegradsky, reprend les thèmes principaux de sa grande oeuvre pour récitant et orchestre, composée en 1916-17 et créée soixante ans plus tard à Paris, en présence du compositeur qui la considérait comme l'oeuvre de sa vie (voir CD paru en 2009). Il intègre dans cette Méditation des micro-intervalles à la partie de violoncelle. Elle a été créée en 1976 par Jacques Wiederker et Martine Joste, avec les indications précises du compositeur présent, puis fréquemment jouée par différents interprètes en France, Suisse, Allemagne, Autriche, Italie, Russie, ainsi qu'aux Etats-Unis. Suivant son habitude, Ivan Wyschnegradsky a remanié l'oeuvre à plusieurs reprises. Pour l'édition, nous avons dû faire des choix, en respectant au plus près sa pensée. Nous avons reporté sur le conducteur les indications de phrasé du violoncelle que Wyschnegradsky avait notées sur la partie séparée et indiqué sur celle-ci les coups d'archet de Christophe Roy, un de ses récents interprètes. Nous espérons que, grâce à cette édition, cette oeuvre entrera au répertoire de tous les violoncellistes. / Violoncelle Et Piano

Par SCHMITZ MANFRED. Have fun learning through the combination of classical playing technique and pop sound! Separated into different levels of difficulty, in both these titles you’ll find an extensive repertoire of pieces for solo instruments with piano accompaniment. Working together with experienced instrumental pedagogues, Manfred Schmitz has specifically arranged these pieces for violin, viola, cello and flute respectively. Ideal for students and teachers: all components (the piano accompaniment book, the instrumental part books and a play-along CD that contains the piano accompaniments) can all be purchased separately. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Contemporary - Solos / Recueil / Violoncelle et Piano

Born in Erfurt, the composer Edward Mollenhauer (1827-1914) achieved success in America as a soloist and teacher. His best-known pieces for young violinists are 'The Infant Paganini? and 'The Boy Paganini?.Both appear here in their original version for violin and piano and, for the first time, in a transcription for cello and piano by Christoph Sassmannshaus.The Mollenhauer fantasia 'The Infant Paganini? is a charming introduction to early virtuoso techniques. It calls for bowing techniques such as detaché, legato, spiccato and arpeggios over three strings. Players are also expected to play harmonics and pizzicato.This showpiece (BA 10691) can be accomplished by young violinists who can play in first to third position and who are nearing completion of the Sassmannshaus Early Start on the Violin, volume 4.It (BA 10693) can be equally mastered by young cello students who are working with volume 4 of the Sassmannshaus 'Early Start on the Cello? and can manage first to fourth position.'The Boy Paganini? is an impressive concert piece which is more demanding. Its two movements call for changes of metre, harmonics and pizzicato. Other challenges include chords on all four strings and simple passages in octaves.On the violin (BA 10692), the technical requirements call for first to fifth position whereas on the cello (BA 10694), the student must be able to play in first to fourth position.Both violinists and cellists should have completed volume 4 of 'Early Start on the Violin? and 'Early Start on the Cello? respectively in order to master this work. - Popular recital pieces for young violinists and cellists- Both works form an ideal continuation of the Sassmannshaus 'Early Start? methods- Pieces originally scored for violin now also available for the first time for cello / Violoncelle Et Piano

Par ECCLES HENRY. Henry Eccles left behind a number of smaller works most of which were written for violins or flutes. However, the most famous is this Sonata in G minor. Though often played in transcription by violinists and especially by double bass players, the sonata was originally published for cello in four movements – Prelude, Courante, Sarabande and Gigue – accompanied by a figured bass. Little is known about Henry Eccles. Neither his birth nor his death date has been firmly established, ranging respectively between 1675-85 and 1735-45. It is not even certain that he composed this sonata. He probably hailed from London and later served at the court of Louis XV in France. The editorChristoph Sassmannshaus, is the grandson of Egon Sassmannshaus, the founder of the “Early Start” series of string methods. / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano

Arrangement: Max. Par CARSE ADAM. Cello part and Piano part A favourite with violinists for nearly 80 years, The Fiddler's Nursery is now available for cellists as well. Wendy Max, one of Britain's most highly respected specialist teachers of young players, has edited the transposed solo part with bowings and fingerings to reflect contemporary approaches to early-stage learning for the instrument, but leaving the music unaltered. No less suited to the cello than to the violin, the results offer ideal material for individual or group tuition of players at pre-grade 1 and elementary level./ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano
