The repertoire for Cello and Guitar is, in general, quite scarce, and while one could be repelled from this instrumentation because of the potential sound balance issues, the actual result is, in truth, remarkable and surprising at the same time.

This Pot-pourri, Op. 21, composed around 1811 and marked  for publication by Breitkopf & Härtel only in 1817, is a 9-minute-long piece in five parts in the key of E minor. This edition comes in a full score and cello part that closely follow Dotzauer’s instructions, plus several bonuses:

• A guitar part with annotations by Emanuele Buono, 1stprize winner of the “Michele Pittaluga” competition in 2013
• Two additional cello parts, one with historical performance suggestions by Australian cellist Josephine Vains, and one with modern performance suggestions by Michele Galvagno
