Preface Book 1 (C125)

Cellowise, published by Clifton Edition is a new anthology of Popular Classics from the Baroque to the 20th. Century.


The series explores a wide range of musical themes with dances from nine European countries, a host of beautiful melodies and many Classical favourites unavailable to the instrument before.


The Volumes are technically well-structured with an attractive mix of Intermediate and more Advanced pieces.


Alexander Baillie writes from the Bremen Hochschule in Germany;

“ This lovely album is a must. The pieces have been thoughtfully chosen and skilfully arranged with the utmost sensitivity and regard for young players to enable them access to the music. I recommend this selection most strongly to young cellists everywhere and their teachers and parents.”


Cellowise is featured on the current Syllabuses of the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin, the Musik-PrüfungsKommission in Vienna, Trinity College, London and on the 2020 – 2023 ABRSM Syllabus at Grade levels 7 & 8.
