Chanson Triste

Raise your hand if you, like me, have spent a great time of your cellist childhood playing this piece from Suzuki Book 4. Have you ever wondered, though, where that arrangement came from? Or have you ever taken the time to listen to the original for Piano solo? The more questions we ask, the less of us will raise their hands! This edition brings clarity to what was used in the Suzuki book, what was done to the piano part, and what other arrangements available, all while offering you a clearly readable and fully enjoyable version of Popper’s arrangement. Honestly, the main reason why I embarked on this quest was because we couldn’t read from the low resolution copy on IMSLP, and printing that coloured file on a B/W printer was a royal disaster! It is now available in a beautiful score and part bundle, including Editorial and Critical notes following the research that lead to its birth! I’m sure you will love it!!
