General difficulty of the music – other brief Information:

EASY to MEDIUM

David Johnstone has included 5 of the 7 songs by Brahms published as his Opus 62 and presented them as romantic and sensitive settings for four cellos (or larger ensembles when doubling the parts). The harmonic importance is shared almost equally amongst all four cello parts in every song, though Cello 1 has the most memorable melodic lines. The transportation into other keys of all five pieces has been proposed so that:

Cello 1 is placed up to a maximum of 7th position, but does not use thumb position at any moment. Tenor clef is sometimes used. Cellos 2, 3 and 4 never extend beyond 4th position, and are always found in the bass (F) clef. For all the parts extensions are frequently found.

EXAMPLE:

The complete list of song titles in the “Johnstone set” is:
