Thank you Heidi! Hope you are doing well.

Thank you! Yes this is quite tricky to play on the cello (but such a beautiful piece, it is worth the effort :).

Thank you very much!

Thank you🙂

Thank you Jose! Hope to be able to see you this summer!

Thank you so much!

@Tny424, thank you!

Thank you!!

We designed a program we called 'Shall We Dance" and we both love this piece so we decided to take Saint-Saens transcription for violin and piano and make it for cello and piano (by taking the violin part down an octave in various places). Thanks for asking!

This version is actually a transcription that Saint-Saens himself made, for violin and piano. What I did was take the violin part and keep all the virtuosic aspects but in areas bring it down an octave so that it would actually work on the cello :).

It took a fair amount and we also performed it a couple times before this live performance.

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much!

Well, it is such a beautiful piece and Schubert didn't write any specific pieces for cello and piano...we couldn't resist playing it when we found this lovely arrangement by Varga :). Thank you for listening!

​​@@DuoAmie Ah, no, it was'nt bad! It was good❤, just a bit strange. For the first time i met this peace arranged differently.

Thank you :). It is indeed a different way of listening to the piece...I feel that Varga's arrangement is very well done overall, balancing and bringing out different aspects of the interweaving lines.

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Thank you Jose!

Thank you! Happy Valentines Day to you too!

You can download the music from IMSLP. It is the arrangement Saint-Saens made for violin and piano. I adapted the violin part for the cello, keeping all the virtuosic elements but taking it down a register to work on the cello.

@@DuoAmie thank you very much!

You're welcome!

​@@DuoAmiethis is now my favorite rendition of this piece. Brava!

Thank you so much!!

Thanks Walter. It is a beautiful piece.

Thank you!!

Thank you! (and sorry you didn't know - I thought we had sent it when we sent you our recording of the whole piece :).

We will be releasing our Album 'Adoration' on February 1st, 2024 which will have the whole piece. We hope to publish the sheet music for our arrangement soon after that.

Yes please do ❤

Thank you! It will be out soon.

Thank you! Sibelius alas did not write much for cello. We felt this poignant song of his lent itself well to cello and piano.

Thank you! We love this piece and are very happy you enjoyed it.

Thank you!

Really love this piece too (it does make quite sound)! We will keep at it (try to do at least 1 video a month). Thank you for listening!

Thank you for listening. Stayed tuned as we are creating a video and sound track of our full length transcription of this piece, for cello and piano🙂.

Thank you Mark!

Thank you!

Thank you very much! It is a terrific arrangement. I believe that cellos2go does ship outside the united states (the owner is really nice). That is the only place I found the arrangement available.

Thank you!
