String Festival Solos are economical collections of transcriptions by Samuel Applebaum. In two volumes for each instrument, the solos are in progressive order of difficulty. Each volume contains nine pieces -- all classic titles in the Applebaum teaching repertoire. Some of these have been hard to find. Volume I progresses from Level 1 to Level 2, Volume II progresses from Level 2 to Level 3. The solos are useful for teaching technique, dynamics, phrasing, and overall musicianship. String Festival Solos are excellent for recitals, auditions and performances for assemblies, concerts or festivals. Contains: Sonatina in G (Beethoven) * Valse Bluette (Duvernoy) * Three German Dances (Beethoven) * Intermezzo (Hook) * Andante (Mozart) * Sonata in G (Hook) * Fantasia, Opus 86, No. 1 (Dancla) * Gavotte (Bach) * Theme and Variations, Opus 89, No. 5, (Dancla).

How to find piano parts
The piano parts are separate: search using the publisher code EL95107 to purchase them here for about $9. As a cello teacher I find the two selections by James Hook are charming and so useful. Danca sounds so dated to merit the difficulty(opinion, sorry).The Bach Gavotte is spoiled by using an octave displacement; instead, should have transposed to C. Beethoven's little piano sonatina in G should have been transcribed in D for cello. An odd mix with uneven/inconsistent grade of difficulty, but got this for the Hook movements, not found elsewhere.

Great for Early-Intermediate Students
What a fabulous compilation for students! I love these pieces for learning or for recital performances. Many, if not all, of the pieces are unique to this collection. Easy shifting makes this the perfect early-intermediate cellist!

String Festival Solos, Volume 2
A bit deceptive - I needed the piano part and didn't realize until it arrived that the piano part was sold separately -
