ISBN 9790080149300. Bach (23 x 30,2 cm) inches. Arpad Pejtsik.
The latest volume of this popular series extends the repertoire of beginner and intermediate cello students with excellent transcriptions of works by music history's "three great Bs." Arpad Pejtsik, the editor of the series, has transcribed the Trio Sonata in G Major for Flute, Violin and Basso continuo by Bach (BWV 1038), a witty bagatelle by Beethoven (WoO 56) and two archaizing piano works (Sarabande, op. posth. 5 no. 2, Gavotte, op. posth. 3 no. 1) by Brahms for three cellos. While intermediate instrumental skills are required due to the use of higher positions when in the upper two parts, the lower part can be performed by beginner cellists. Interpretation is helped by fingerings and bowings provided by the editor. |
