Written with the young to intermediate student in mind, all Suzuki pieces are included in Books 1B through Book 3 (also including six non-Suzuki pieces), bringing the grand total to 28 familiar, standard pieces!

It includes the Bach Minuets, Gavottes and Bourrees as well as pieces by Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann. The cello harmony parts are busier than most, while adhering to harmonies found in piano accompaniments.
This is an awesome resource for the cellist that has viola siblings or friends -- now you can play duos of fun, familiar pieces together!

Volume I is alphabetized according to composer names and can be used with or without a pianist.
