1 PDF, containng all the material

Approximate difficulty: EASY
These pieces are arranged specifically for cellists who are comfortable with first position and who are now are venturing into second, third and fourth positions. They are written for two cellos, the second part being an accompaniment to be played by a teacher or colleague. The music comes in a score followed by individual parts for each piece. All pieces believed to be in the public domain, and are probably going to be much more fun than working through position change exercises because they are presented as little concert pieces – miniatures – rather than as studies.

Exact fingerings are, however, are rarely indicated; there is often more than one possibility and it is felt it is better for the teacher to decide which is best for each student. The first volume has five pieces and the second volume four – but the pieces in the second book are more extended and have a longer duration in total. Whichever one/s you try – just enjoy them!

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
