Filippo Amadei (1670–1730), also known as Signor Pippo del Violoncello, was an Italian composer, born in Reggio and active in Rome and London. He was a cellist in the service of Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni in Rome. Amadei co-composed an opera Muzio Scevola with Bononcini and Handel in 1721.

Filippo Amadei (1670–1730), also known as Signor Pippo del Violoncello, was an Italian composer, born in Reggio and active in Rome and London. He was a cellist in the service of Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni in Rome. Amadei co-composed an opera Muzio Scevola with Bononcini and Handel in 1721.

This publication of Amadei's cello sonata marks the first edition of the work. The Schönborn source (shelfmark 896) by the copyist Franz Jacob Horneck was used as the main source of this edition. The set comes with a playable score, cello and basso parts, as well as a realized figured bass. All changes to the source have been footnoted in the cello-basso score.

This composition is in 2 movements. The first movement is through-composed and is in the key of D minor. It is based on the figure of a rising arpeggio and a falling scale, which is often presented in imitation between the two instruments. The second movement is in the binary form where the first section is in F major and the second section is in D minor, ending on an A harmony (dominant of D minor). Since the ending of the sonata leaves the music on a dominant harmony, we suggest repeating the first movement in its entirety. However, cellists might find other solutions.

CPE Bach's A major Cello Concerto has enjoyed longstanding popularity. Bach himself has a version of this work for solo cello, solo flute, or solo keyboard. In the last 100 years, it has been rearranged for cello and orchestra by Ferdinand Pollain, transposing much of the concerto up an octave, as well as Gaspar Cassado in F major, with an addition of a solo flute in the slow movement.

Currently, there are 2 "critical editions" editions of this concerto: Eulenburg/Schott and cebach.org. Both of these claim to be based on the manuscript that is located at the Brussels Conservatory, however, the cpebach.org edition is almost exclusively based on the 1960s Eulenburg. Both editions have inadequate page turns. They call the slow movement "Largo con sordini, mesto," which is not what the manuscript says. The MS reads, "Largo mesto," and "con sordini" is only for some instruments, not all.

This editor decided to use the manuscript found in the Alströmer Collection. The only real difference is found in the solo cello arpeggios on the last page, with a couple of different accompaniment notes. This editor's goal was to create a faithful edition with adequate page turns in all parts, as well as cue notes, which both Eulenburg/Schott and cebach.org lack. This editor corrected the mistake in the Largo movement tempo marking to follow Alströmer's "Largo maesto."

The set includes a score, solo part, and orchestra parts.

Ruijsenaars explains, "I have tried to follow the autograph in transcribing it for the cello, but I do not always play an octave down. Incidental excursions into the original violin register are made. The result is that the texture of the work is enriched, sometimes drawn out of the darker register in order to give way to a more brilliant one. Bach meets Boccherini, as it were, but without any changes in the score."

Kellner's manuscript predates Anna Magdalena Bach's by 1-5 years. This is an important source, which all scholars consult in their preparation of the Suites. The slurring and ornamentation are based on the Westphal manuscript (Source C) because it presents the most meticulous care for copying slurs and articulation. The present edition includes suggested bowings and an alternate version of the 5th Suite based on J.S. Bach's own Lute Suite manuscript. Both versions of the 5th Suite are presented at with scordatura. Page turns were avoided wherever possible.

We are pleased to offer a unique look into Bantock’s brilliant mind with this Urtext edition of his Sapphic Poem. The Sapphic Poem is a 15-minute piece for cello and piano (or orchestra), composed in 1906 in Broad Meadow Kings Norton for cellist Willy Lehmann. Novello published it for cello and piano in 1908 and for cello and orchestra in 1909. To date, there are only two recordings of the work: one by Gillian Thoday (1978 (https://youtu.be/9mTQq7BjArU) and the other by Julian Lloyd Webber (1999). Apart from the recordings, the work has likely been performed publicly between ten and twenty times since its premiere in 1906.

The Sapphic Poem is composed in one continuous movement. In the autograph score, Bantock includes a fragment by Sappho in Greek with an English translation underneath, quoted from Henry Thornton Wharton's Sappho: Memoir, Text, Selected Renderings, and a Literal Translation. Bantock’s tonal language in the Sapphic Poem is distinctly British; however, one can also hear Wagnerian and Russian influences. The main key of the piece is B minor. The middle section is in F# minor and the return of the main theme is in E major. The piece ends peacefully in B major. While the cello writing is lyrical throughout, one of the cadenzas requires the cellist to play nineteen notes on an up-bow staccato.

It is our desire to bring this tribute to Sappho, the greatest poetess of the ancient world, to the 21st-century audiences in a faithful edition based on the composer’s manuscript.
