Cello part and Piano part The seven pieces for cello in this collection are of a slightly more challenging level of difficulty than those of Fiddler's Nursery which like Fiddle Fancies have been transposed and edited for young cellists by noted teacher Wendy Max. As ever Carse fits the solo and accompaniment together to make a complete musical picture testing both the player's technical skills and imaginative gifts. The seven pieces encompass a variety of moods and styles ranging from the tranquillity of Sweet Sorrow Bluebell Chimes and Sadness to the exuberance of Swinging Hopping Dance WaltzSteps and the ever-popular Frog Dance.

A highly respected Cello teacher and performer Alfred Earnshaw counted among his peers such notable twentieth-century composers of music for young cellists as Adam Carse and W. H. Squire. His Tarantella for Cello and Piano features on Children's Cello the delightful collection of cello miniatures recorded by Steven Isserlis and pianist Stephen Hough on a recent BIS recording. Earnshaw commanded a fluent graceful idiom ideally suited to inspire beginners with real musical values and the piece combines open-string and first-position playing with the flair and character of an impressive recital item.
