These pieces for cello and piano range from the baroque to the modern era and are ideal for music lessons, concerts and competitions - but equally good for simply enjoying at home. As implied by the title 'Arietta', all of these pieces are designed to make the cello 'sing', through expressive playing and the development of a beautiful tone. The anthology contains major pieces for the first three years of music lessons. As well as well-known classics by composers such as de Fesch and Hindemith, there are numerous musical rarities for you to discover.
