Composer: Joseph Reinagle
Editor: Rainer Mohrs
Difficulty: very easy to easy
Sonatine is drawn from Reinagle’s A Concise Introduction to the Playing of the Violoncello (1800). Played exclusively in first position, this work is highly suitable for student concerts and competitions.
Joseph Reinagle (1762-1825), pupil of the well-known cellist Johann Georg Schetky, was a versatile musician and composer. In 1800 he published ‘A Concise Introduction to the Playing of the Violoncello’ from which the three movements of the Sonatina have been taken. With its appealing melody and classical style, this music closes a major gap in the beginner’s literature as there are hardly any easy-to-play classical sonatas for cello and piano. Reinagle’s Sonatina is highly recommended for pupils’ concerts and competitions since it is played exclusively in the first position. The musical text is based on the text of the first edition, using the original bowing and phrasing. Dynamic indications have been added by the editor as suggestions for lessons.
