Published by Elizabeth Thompson (A0.1016693).The Suite for 2 Cellos consists of six dance movements excerpted from Marin Marais' Pieces de viole, Livre III (Paris, France 1711). Originally for viola da gamba, this suite is transcribed into bass and tenor clefs so as to be easily read by the modern cellist. All of the movements are appealing with or without ornamentation, which makes the Suite a flexible educational tool for players at many levels.
