Cello Time Runners

The cello accompaniment gives introductory bars and supportive rhythm and harmony to the original cello line. Many of the cello accompaniments are suitable for a student to play, thus providing student duet repertoire. The books are clearly printed and well spaced, printed in score format, with the student pieces placed above the cello accompaniment.
