About this piece
Have More Fun With Your Cello! Take a journey to the time when lawn chairs and blankets would be out under the stars and music would waft out from under the eaves of the wooden bandstand. These are the tunes that got our feet moving, made us smile, and brought us together. Now, with these cello duets, you can bring the toe-tapping, exuberant joy to others and remind us all that through highs and lows, music can be something we share to keep our spirits up and build community. From Scott Joplin to John Philip Sousa, these cello duets will invite you up on the bandstand, out for a gig, or out on your lawn to play your heart out! Know any violinists or violists? You can pick up a copy of the violin or viola book and play with those instruments as well; the cello book is fully compatible with the violin and viola books. This cello book is in first through fourth positions, is entirely in bass clef, and is at an intermediate level. Table of Contents 1. The Entertainer (Scott Joplin) 2.
