what are some good cello pieces to play and to practice sight reading?

hyozan asked:


I just need a few pretty difficult pieces to practice my sight reading. I have played cello for 4 years. I can play things such as a few of the popper etudes, music by Bach and others.
Thank you very much

Piano Rep Suggestions For A Non-Pianist?

Allison M asked:


I am a second year classical voice major and I’ve just finished my piano requirements for my degree. I have basic keyboard skills in that I can sight read my way around a simple two to three line score ( though the alto clef still eludes me… I hate score reading..!) and feel comfortable churning out simple pieces in an afternoon (To about grade 3 in the Canadian Conservatory system.)

For the longest time, I avoided piano music, preferring to focus on my vocal endeavors but lately I feel as though my mother’s beautiful baby grand sitting alone and un-played is far too sad to bear.

Unfortunately, I know virtually nothing about the piano repertoire and don’t know where to begin. Like most neophytes, I enjoy the works of Chopin and Schuman– in particular Chopin’s nocturnes. I am also a huge fan of Schuman’s Fantasiestüke, but I am certain these works are currently above me.

Can anyone suggest some short works or etudes that would be suitable for a beginner like myself?
