Sassmannshaus
Cello Recital Album
for cello and piano
or two cellos
Eds. M. Lusk, C. Sassmannshaus
Each volume with score and
part, plus additional cello part
for the duet version
BA 8994 Vol. 1 First Position
BA 8995 Vol. 2 First Position
The 18 pieces in Volume 1 can
be used as a supplement to
the Early Start on the Cello
method, Volumes 1 and 2
(BA 8996 and BA 8997) and are
structured to follow the same
progression of finger patterns
introduced in the method.
This systematic progression
helps the student to solidify
the hand position and improve
intonation. The basic bowing
techniques do not require
changes in bow speed or
sounding point. The young
performer can focus on a
straight and beautifully placed
bow that produces a pleasing
and clear sound.
The 12 pieces in Volume 2
can be used as a supplement
to the Early Start on the Cello
method, Volumes 2 and 3
(BA 8997 and BA 8998) and are
structured to follow the same
progression of finger patterns
introduced in the method.
The later repertoire in this
volume includes a careful
introduction of downward
and upward extensions.
Charming collections of
easy pieces in first position
Each cello part is supported
by a piano accompaniment
for student performances
Alternately a second cello
part allows duo playing
with the teacher during
lessons. This early
introduction to chamber
music brings joy and
satisfaction to the young
cellist and teaches the
student to hear the music
as a whole.
The two volumes are
designed as companion
publications to the Early
Start on the Cello method.
However, they work equally
well as a supplement to any
other cello method.
A variety of rarely published
works by well-known cellists
and pedagogues such as
Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, Hugo
Schlemüller, and August
Nölck make these
publications attractive to
teachers and students.
