About this piece
Ten short original pieces for cello and piano by the late Suzanne Lecarpentier, published by FASE, the foundation that carries on George Bornoff's string-teaching method. The French-titled character pieces include À l'Église (In Church), Au Parc: La Grosse Tortue (In the Park: The Big Turtle), Avec Mon Cerf-Volant (With My Kite), Berceuse pour Didi (Lullaby for Didi), Chansonette (Little Song), En Classe de Danse: La Valse (Dancing Class: The Waltz), Il Neige (It's Snowing), Le Papillon Blanc (The White Butterfly), Mes Petits Soldats de Plomb (My Little Lead Soldiers) and Randonnée en Bicyclette (Bicycle Ride). They are written for the first four positions, and each can also be played using only first position.
Technical overview
The pieces are written for the first four positions, and each can also be played in first position only, so one book can serve a student before and after they learn to shift.
