Mozart Piano Sonata No. 10 in C K330: Transcribed for Cello With Simple Accompaniment
Here is Mozart‘s Tenth Piano Sonata K330 in C major, in a transcription for cello and simple accompaniment. The entire sonata has been transposed down by a fourth, in order to find both the best register and the best key for the cello adaptation. This brings the outer movements into G major and the slow movement (originally in F) into C major. The simple accompaniments are offered in two versions: one for piano (or guitar/harp) and another for a second cello.
FIRST MOVEMENT: Allegro Moderato
The cello parts for this movement are noted in doubletime (every note is twice the length of Mozart’s original notation and the music is notated in 4/4 rather than Mozart’s original 2/4 time signature). This makes the sheet music less black, less imposing, and much easier to read.
- Cello Part: EDITED
- Cello Part: CLEAN
- Cello Part: EASIER VERSION
- Accompaniment Score (Piano/Harp/Guitar)
SECOND MOVEMENT: Andante Cantabile
This movement may be short, but it is absolute magic. It mostly lies quite low on the fingerboard, so the only difference between the “Easier Version” and the “Performance Version” is the transposition down an octave of bars 20-32.
THIRD MOVEMENT: Allegretto
