Cello and basso continuo - easy - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q911 No. 1 F Major and No. 4 G Minor. Composed by Benedetto Marcello. This edition: Sheet music. Baroque - Cello - cello library. Cello Library. Downloadable. Schott Music - Digital #Q911. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q911). The six sonatas by Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739) are among the best-known baroque compositions for violoncello and basso continuo, second only to those by Antonio Vivaldi. Marcello was a famous composer during his lifetime, and consequently his collection could be found in printed editions in the major European music metropolises of London, Paris and Amsterdam. Even if there is some uncomfortable fingering in these sonatas - which might be due to Marcello's working with a five-string cello with an added E' string - they are of only moderate difficulty and belong to the standard works of the violoncello teaching literature.

Cello and basso continuo (harpsichord/piano); cello (viola da gamba) ad libitum - intermediate - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q10902 Composed by Benedetto Marcello. This edition: Sheet music. Cello Library. Downloadable. Schott Music - Digital #Q10902. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q10902). Key: A minor.Die sechs Sonaten von Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739) gehören neben denjenigen von Antonio Vivaldi zu den bekanntesten Barockkompositionen für Violoncello und Basso continuo. Schon zu Lebzeiten des zu seiner Zeit durchaus berühmten Komponisten wurde die Sammlung in den wichtigen europäischen Musikmetropolen London, Paris und Amsterdam in Drucken angeboten. Auch wenn es einige unbequeme Griffverbindungen in diesen Sonaten gibt, die daher rühren dürften, dass Marcello mit einem fünfsaitigen, um eine e’-Saite ergänzten Cello rechnete, so sind sie doch von moderater Schwierigkeit und gehören zu den Standardwerken des Violoncellounterrichts.
