François Servais (1807–66), a Belgian cello virtuoso and composer, is best remembered for his Six Caprices, Op. 11. Caprice No. 2 is a perpetual motion in rondo form, exploring the spiccato bow stroke. This Caprice was arranged for cello and piano by the Dutch cellist Louis Lübeck (1838–1904). The cello part is virtually the same as Servais’s

François Servais (1807–66), a Belgian cello virtuoso and composer, is best remembered for his Six Caprices, Op. 11. Caprice No. 2 is a perpetual motion in rondo form, exploring the spiccato bow stroke. This Caprice was arranged for cello and piano by the Dutch cellist Louis Lübeck (1838–1904). The cello part is virtually the same as Servais’s original, however, Lübeck adds several fingerings for clarification as well as very specific dynamics to aid with phrasing. The piano part is freely composed, rarely using material from the original second cello part. This arrangement would make a brilliant encore. Our edition is based on the arrangement published by Schott, graciously provided by the Servais Society. Special thank you to Peter François for offering his expertise.
