Ludwig Masters String Solo & Small Ensemble Sheet Music

Francis Grant's cello method books dominate the collection: his Beginner's Guide to the Cello v. 1 and Intermediate Etudes in the Positions for Violoncello remain the best sellers here, essential reference points for teachers building a cello program. Lynne Latham's 15 Duets for Violin and Cello and 15 Duets for Violin and Viola are equally reliable choices for Grade 2-3 ensemble work. Teachers also reach for Brahms' Hungarian Dances for Violin and Piano and the various Offenbach arrangements for concert and recital programming.

Recent additions include Bartók's 83 Romanian Dances for 2 Violas, Schoenberg's String Quartet No. 3 Op. 30 in both score and parts, and César Franck's Sonata in A for Cello and Piano, all published in the last year.

Francis Grant has become the backbone of this collection with nine titles focused on cello technique and repertoire. His Beginner's Guide to the Cello v. 1 leads all sales in the catalog, and his etude series moves students systematically through positions and intermediate skills, making his work invaluable for cello teachers structuring progressive lessons.

Lynne Latham brings 18 titles to the collection, predominantly duets scaled for Grade 2.5 to 3 students. Her 15 Duets for Violin and Cello has become a staple pairing for mixed-string instruction, and her attention to teachable partnerships has made her duets a go-to resource for ensemble building.

Joanne Martin is a composer, teacher, and performer who has worked across North America and Europe as both a soloist and chamber musician, including appearances with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and Manitoba Chamber Orchestra. Her arranging and original work bring a performer's sensibility to the collection, grounding her compositions in practical chamber writing.
