This book presents exercises and studies to help cellists learn and perfect Camille Saint-Saëns' Allegro Appassionato for cello and piano. The entire piece is broken down into short sections and taught. Difficulties such as shifts and bowing patterns are approached from a variety of perspectives, giving the cellist a chance to master this essential staple of student cello repertoire. The entire cello part to the piece is presented at the end of the book (the piano accompaniment is not included.)
