Lyrical. Expressive. A stepping stone into concerto playing.
Concertino No.1 in C Major, Op.7 by Julius Klengel is a charming Romantic work that introduces developing cellists to the world of concerto-style playing. Written in three movements—Allegro, Andante, and a lively Rondo—it combines elegant melodies with approachable technical demands, making it ideal for students progressing beyond beginner repertoire .
With its clear structure and expressive writing, the piece helps build confidence in shifting, tone production, and musical phrasing, while remaining engaging and rewarding to perform—both as a study work and a concert piece.
