St Cecilia School of Music (SCSM) Cello Examination Book - Grade Two (Cello Part Only)

The Grade 2 Album calls for a more dynamic performance from the candidate. From the flamboyant ‘Russian Rhapsody’ to the classic ‘Fur Elise’ the Grade 2 Album delivers fantastic pieces of contrasting styles. Many of the pieces featured in this album are ideal for concert performances. Low first fingers and high third fingers are used more frequently in this Grade.

All technical work is included in the album.
