Here are my thoughts for suitable material for cello students for this new academic year. Hundreds of ideas here!

..

..

I’m starting off with these free volumes of music for solo cello in the style of J.S. Bach:

BREAKING INTO BACH – UNACCOMPANIED MINIATURES FOR STRINGS
Music to play at home on your own – Unaccompanied!! Music very similar to Bach composed for young and/or less experienced musicians but nice for anyone – CELLISTS or VIOLA PLAYERS or DOUBLE BASSISTS – which sounds good and convincing but is actually a far bit easier than our maestro Bach himself!

SOLO CELLO – VOLUME 1 (9 pieces): https://johnstone-music.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/free-johnstone-BREAKING_INTO_BACH-Volume_1-SOLO_CELLO.pdf

SOLO CELLO – VOLUME 2 (9 pieces): https://johnstone-music.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/free-johnstone-BREAKING_INTO_BACH-Volume_2-SOLO_CELLO.pdf

SOLO VIOLA – VOLUME 1 (9 pieces): https://johnstone-music.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/free-johnstone-Breaking_Into_Bach-VIOLA-Vol_I.pdf

SOLO VIOLA – VOLUME 2 (9 pieces): https://johnstone-music.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/free-johnstone-Breaking_Into_Bach-VIOLA-Vol_II.pdf

SOLO DOUBLE BASS – VOLUME 1 (9 pieces): https://johnstone-music.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/free-Johnstone-BASS_IN_BACH-SOLO_D_Bass-VOLUME_ONE.pdf

SOLO DOUBLE BASS – VOLUME 2 (9 pieces): https://johnstone-music.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/free-Johnstone-BASS_IN_BACH-SOLO_D_Bass-VOLUME_TWO.pdf

The two Haydn Cello Concertos are a core part of repertoire for ALL advanced cellists; here are free arrangements of an orchestral reduction for one cello, making these first movements performable for just TWO cellists – so also very useful for the cello class!:

HAYDN – Cello Concerto in C Major Hob. VII b:1 (1st Mt)
First movement – moderato
Arranged for Soloist with Rehearsal 2nd Cello by David Johnstone
https://johnstone-music.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/HAYDN-Cello_Concerto_C_Major-1st_Mt-TWO_CELLOS.pdf

..

HAYDN – Cello Concerto in D Major Hob. VII b:2 (1st Mt)
First movement – Allegro moderato
Arranged for Soloist with Rehearsal 2nd Cello by David Johnstone
https://johnstone-music.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/HAYDN-Cello_Concerto_D_Major-1st_Mt-TWO_CELLOS.pdf

As far as I know, no-one has contemplated this for medium level cellists, again free:

PIAZZOLLA – ADIOS NONINO as a small SONATINA for CELLO AND PIANO for medium level cellists:
Cello Part: https://johnstone-music.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/PIAZZOLLA_Johnstone-Adios_Nonino-CELLO-2.pdf
Piano Part: https://johnstone-music.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/PIAZZOLLA_Johnstone-Adios_Nonino-PIANO-2.pdf

EASIER – CELLO SOLO + CELLO WITH PIANO

Take a look here, most are only €1.00 or even €0.50!

https://johnstone-music.com/product-category/easy-cello-solo-with-piano/?lang=en

In this section a most unusual feature is the EASY CELLO SOLOIST WITH ORCHESTRA SERIES – pieces orchestrated with CELLO SOLOIST AND STRING ORCHESTRA so that the young cellist can have his/her first experiences of playing as soloist with an orchestra!

..

..

EASIER – ENSEMBLES OF CELLOS

Here you can find over 170 pieces for varying cello ensembles for cellists in their first years of playing; up to 8 cellists (octet) are present, but the great majority is for two, three or four cellists. Most are again only €1.00. Go to:
https://johnstone-music.com/product-category/easy-ensembles-of-cellos/?lang=en

..

I hope there might be something for many!

..

..

And finally, this group of pieces is not easy, but you might be interested to see this growing section too!

As I always say – enjoy the music!
