About this arrangement

The key signature of E minor was chosen for two main reasons. First, it is much more readily playable for cellists who are still learning the mid-range positions. Second, this key makes all the chordal accompanying in cello two that much more accessible more of the time.

It is a lot of fun to play famous works with my students, who range from beginners to advanced. I have found that more students, more of the time, prefer some famous tunes. Transposing them into playable registers has proven to be a worthy undertaking.

The first page is all in the lower positions where many students who have attained the rudiments of cello playing will be able to play. The second page has been transposed up one octave. It will be a pleasant compliment for the intermediate level students who have achieved a higher level of playing, which extends into the mid-to high positions.
