The fifth volume in the series contains cello quintets. Trinklied by Johann Hermann Schein (Bach's predecessor, 100 years earlier, as cantor at St. Thomas's, Leipzig) evokes the spirit of student revels, in this work all the parts are equally easy. In the Minuet by Boccherini, the Italian master of the galant style, only the first part requires rather more technical expertise. In the lovely Adagio by Mozart all the parts are equally demanding, the first and second require a sure technique even in the higher positions.

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.
