The Melodious Cellist: Duets for Studio & Stage, volume 2; Steven Laven (SL)

Volume 2: A continuation of the first volume, this book introduces mixed meters, hemiolas, and easy thumb position. To provide experience playing in a variety of major and minor keys, pieces range from one sharp up to four flats.

• Michelle Whalley's charming illustrations continue here, tying the two volumes together. Both parts are equal throughout, and a variety of styles from baroque to ragtime make this book a fun, melodic journey.
