About the music
- Arrangements for cello (both for cello solo and for cello and piano) as I am a cellist and the cello repertoire is very small compared to the violin or piano repertoire. Everything has been tested in concert and is "ready to play" with bowing and fingerings.
- Works for cello lessons
- Arrangements for other instruments, for example flute
- And others
