Method for Cello, Op. 31, Bk. 1
Sebastian Lee, a cellist and composer in the early 1800s, is not very well known considering the large number of compositions for cello he published during his lifetime. Of all his work, only his etudes, which he published collections of at every difficulty level, remain popular today. Opus 31, included in this method, was written for use by the Conservatoire in Paris, and since it's release it has remained one of the most widely used cello etude books. Published by Carl Fischer.
