The Romberg Sonata in C Major Study Book for Cello

Learn an Essential Cello Curriculum Piece!

The Romberg Sonata in C Major Study Book for Cello helps you learn and perfect every measure of this essential teaching piece.

The Sonata is broken down into short sections and taught through carefully graded exercises. Skills that would otherwise be difficult, such as agile bowing and shifting, can now be mastered.

You can be free to concentrate on artistic expression by solidifying your cello technique. The Romberg Study Book gives you essential tools to be a better cellist.

This book is appropriate for intermediate level cellists who have learned first through fourth positions and are ready for the next challenge. It is helpful if cellists have learned some fifth position before they begin the book: Fifth Position Preparatory Studies, Fifth Position for the Cello, and The C Major Scale Book are helpful preparatory books.

No tenor clef is used in this book.

The entire cello part to the Sonata is presented at the end of the book (the piano accompaniment is not included). The piano accompaniment to this piece is on IMSLP.

Here is a sample progression from Intermediate Level I through to the Saint-Saens Concerto:

1. The Romberg Cello Sonata in E Minor
2. The Romberg Cello Sonata in C Major
3. The Squire Tarantella
4. The Swan
