Sonata for Violin and Cello and composed by Luigi Boccherini was transcribed and annotated by Paul Bazelaire a professor at the National Conservatoire. Ideal for a recital or for a contest this sonata in four parts is quite challenging for both instruments and would require advanced skills. The Cello score is written over the C and the F key and each of the four parts includes numerous repetitions and fast sections. These four parts are 1. Allegretto Spiritoso 2. Vivace 3. Grave and 4. Allegro Assai. This really nice Sonata will be a delight to play and to listen to. LuigiBoccherini (1743-1806) composed numerous pieces for various instruments including Cello duets chamber music cantatas ballets orchestral music masses and a large amount of music for strings.

As a prestigious composer of the late 18th century Luigi Boccherini's (1743-1805) Rondo transcribed for the Cello by Paul Bazelaire contains many features which continue to make the composer's music popular and loved to this day. Known for his courtly gallant style Rondo originally composed for Violin and Harpsichord clearly exemplifies these qualities through the 2/4 time signature flourishing Cello lines and evocative chordal and rhythmic Piano accompaniment. Moreover syncopation rhythms and ornamentation heard throughout the piece create further excitement. All of these musical elementscombine to create a highly enjoyable piece for the Cello repertoire. In addition the clear print of separate Cello and Piano parts in this edition of Rondo add to this irresistable purchase for budding cellists.

Luigi Boccherini was born in Lucca in Italy where he became famous at an early age as a virtuoso Cellist. After an invitation to Madrid in 1768 he spent the rest of his life in Spain. It is not surprising then that his compositions were much influenced by the rhythmic variety and rich colours of Spanish music and this influence is nowhere more pronounced than in the exuberant Grave e Fandango (Introduction And Fandango). The piece was originally written as a piece for String Quartet and then subsequently arranged for Guitar and String Quartet. This edition features a reduction of the String Quartet part for Harpsichord.

The combination of Flute and Guitar is becoming increasingly popular among music school pupils and concert performers. This publication From Renaissance To Ragtime expands the fairly narrow repertoire for this combination of instruments to include arrangements of famous compositions such as variations on the famous English Renaissance song Greensleeves famous melodies by Johann Sebastian Bach (Air Siciliana Badinerie) the popular Minuet by Luigi Boccherini Chopin's virtuoso Variations on a Theme of Rossini and Scott Joplin's popular ragtime tune The Entertainer(familiar from the film The Sting). In order that these relatively demanding arrangements can be enjoyed by a broad spectrum of performers editor Pavel Kloub selected compositions which can easily be played not only on the Flute but also on the Oboe or Violin.Contents:Green Sleeves (variations on the english renaissance song) [Fleury Louis]Le Basque [Marais Marin]Air [Bach Johann Sebastian]Siciliano [Bach Johann Sebastian]Menuet [Bach Johann Sebastian]Badinerie [Bach Johann Sebastian]Menuet [Boccherini Luigi]Variations on a theme of Rossini [Chopin Frederic]The Entertainer [Joplin Scott]

Boccherini's style spread throughout Europe and his Cello Concerto in D G.479 became the model for W.A. Mozart's Violin Concerto in D K.218 (1775).Boccherini's Concerto In D For Cello And String Orchestra is a beautiful piece and this is an arrangement for Cello with Piano Reduction. The solo cello part is also included on a separate insert.

Until the beginning of the 1980s, the figure of François de Fossa was mainly known by his relationship with Dionisio Aguado, a relationship that included de Fossa's collaboration in producing the two Parisian editions of the Aguado Escuela, and the complete translation of one of them into French. The situation changed radically in 1981 with the publication by Editions Orphée of a monograph which not only revealed very interesting and decisive factors in regard to the guitar quintets of Luigi Boccherini, but also included an important biographical study and a checklist of the known compositions of François de Fossa. Several works by de Fossa were published in later years, among which were works for two guitars, trios, quartets, an anthology of selected works for guitar solo published in 1990. De Fossa's Quatre Divertissemens pour la Guitare seule extraits des Oeuvres de J. Haydn, his Op. 13, was part of that anthology. The current edition of it was engraved anew, and completely edited and fingered. The works of Haydn from which this music is drawn are as follows: Divertimento I ' Symphony N° 63 'La Roxolane', and Symphony N° 85 'La Reine' Divertimento II ' Largo Cantabile, Rondo Allegretto. In spite of rigorous search, we have not been successful in identifying the movements of this Divertimento among the known works of Haydn. Divertimento III ' Symphony N° 85 'La Reine'and Symphony N° 86 Divertimento IV ' Symphony N° 53 'L'Imperiale' and Symphony N° 85 'La Reine'. The Andante of this symphony was also used, at about the same time, by Fernando Sor, as the theme of his Thema Varié pour la Guitare ou Lyre, (WoO-1) as well as in his Op. 20. Of considerable interest here is de Fossa's seemingly paradoxical approach to transcribing music by Haydn. In the case of Haydn string quartets, he chose the two guitars medium, providing for a more facile representation of the harmony and counterpoint. In transcribing these four divertimenti, extracted from several Haydn symphonies, he chose the solo guitar as the target instrumentation, clearly a medium that is far less appropriate for handling a complex musical texture than the guitar duo. It is perfectly understandable that he was not entirely successful in retaining the selection's original integrity, having eliminated some parts as noted above. Nevertheless, the resulting works, those that are directly attributable to Haydn and the one that cannot, are splendid concert pieces for the solo guitar.
