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." Árpád 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.

Chamber Music for Violoncellos

The wide range of the cello allows for the possibility of three or four cellos to play in different positions in order to create the sounds necessary for a fully-voiced chamber ensemble. This practice of transcribing works for multiple cellos began to gain popularity in the 19th century, and renowned pedagogue/composer Árpád Pejtsik has continued the tradition in this series.
