9 Easy Sonatas for Cello & Piano/Basso Continuo

ABRSM Syllabus title, Grade 5 Cello

The original source of these sonatas for cello and double bass duo was a collection created by G.A. Perti and his pupils in Bologna around 1695. Among the easy and small-scale movements (at most 28 bars long), the most quintessential dances of the Baroque era are represented.

Some of these compositions can be played after a mere 3 years of instrumental study, therefore music students can use them as an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the fundamentals of baroque style.
