Misc. Notes For cello and accompaniment (piano, guitar, harp). Transposed down a semitone into D major. Two accompaniment parts are offered: a simple one and a more complex one. The simple one has only the piano's original left hand notes distributed to both hands. The other one maintains the original piano's left hand and has a simple right hand with all of the original non-melody notes. Three cello parts are offered: an Edited Performance Version (with fingerings and bowings), a Clean Performance Version (with only the notes), and an Easier Version. For best results print on A4 paper with no margins. More info and a playalong accompaniment at cellofun.eu
