At the end of the 18th century, the cellist and composer Jean-Baptiste Bréval not only created virtuoso concertos for his instrument, but also easier sonatas as well as duets which, today, are still part of the hard core. of the pedagogical repertoire of the cello. The Sonata in C major op. 40 n ° 1, which opens with very gripping chords, already offers beginner cellists the possibility of being carried away in superb melodies, and of mastering small changes of position. The first edition published in Paris in 1799 is not very precise concerning the choice of the accompanying instrument. This is why several alternatives are offered in this Urtext edition: a two-part score, allowing a second cello, during the lesson, to accompany conveniently, as well as a discreet support for piano, which can be used during the lesson. hearings. This entry ticket into the cello repertoire is also completed by a discreetly annotated solo part.
