Each month of the year holds its own magic – a changing palette of moods captured in the Cello Calendar through twelve expressive ballads for cello and piano. From the soft bloom of May to the misty quiet of November, composer Magdalena König paints musical portraits inspired by the seasons. The pieces cover a range from first to fourth position, occasionally reaching harmonics. Optional use of fifth position is possible for more advanced players. Some fingerings and bowings are provided, while other passages are intentionally left open to encourage individual interpretation.

About this edition The difficulty level of this simplified piano accompaniment is very high. The piano part by the composing pianist Clara Schumann is highly complex, and the possibilities for reduction are limited. Philip Lehmann achieves, with this arrangement, the possibility of an accompaniment even without prior piano study.In the third movement, the present notation format has been chosen to provide as manageable options as possible, depending on the performer‘s abilities: accompaniment with just the bass note, chordally on the downbeat, or with tremolo in the specified rhythm. To preserve this rhythmic specific feature (quintuplets, sixteenth-note rests) of the accompaniment in the right hand, the rhythmic structure is notated from the first measure. Despite this, the greatest simplifications should still be quickly recognizable. Level of difficulty 4 : Compared to the original, the piano movement has been greatly simplified, but can still be practised by amateurs The edition is also available as a pdf file.
