Auguste Franchomme : 12 Caprices, Op. 35

Cello Solo – Edited by Hugo Becker & Leonard Rose

About Editor / Technical Approach :

This extraordinary edition from the International Music Company features the layered editorial insights of two cello pedagogical titans : the eminent German cellist Hugo Becker and the legendary American virtuoso Leonard Rose. Becker provides a rigorous foundation in classical European left-hand discipline, while Rose infuses the score with his trademark 20th-century bow distribution and tone-production markings. Together, their expert fingerings and bowings offer an indispensable, systematic framework to help advanced students navigate high-register shifting and intricate bow coordination with absolute clarity.

Description :

Auguste Franchomme's 12 Caprices, Op. 35 stands alongside the Piatti Caprices as one of the ultimate masterworks of advanced cello pedagogy. Written by one of the greatest French cellists of the Romantic era, these 12 standalone concert etudes lead the performer through an incredibly vast, poetic musical landscape. Rather than presenting mechanical, dry drills, Franchomme integrates severe technical challenges—such as rapid string crossings, double stops, complex ornamentation, and thumb-position cantabile—into deeply expressive, elegant frameworks. This edition is engineered to challenge the player's full technical breadth, guiding them to achieve a clear, bright sound in the brilliant detached sections while consistently favoring a full sonority and sweet tone in the lyrical, long-breathed phrases. It serves as an essential guide for building a professional and disciplined concert foundation.

Features :

• Dual Master Edition : Combines the structural wisdom of Hugo Becker and the singing pedagogical approach of Leonard Rose.
• High-Level Pedagogy : Universally regarded as standard, advanced preparatory material for major Romantic concertos and virtuoso showpieces.
• IMC Quality Notation : Published by International Music Company (IMC 1771), guaranteeing clean score engraving and a durable softcover format.
• Stylistic Polish : Perfect for refining the delicate articulation and elegant phrasing characteristic of the 19th-century French cello school.

Performance Tips / Difficulty :

Grade of Difficulty : Advanced. These caprices present significant technical hurdles in both hands. String players should pay close attention to intonation precision during rapid shifts across the upper registers and extensions. For the double-stop passages, maintain a relaxed left thumb to prevent tension. Practice the quicker detached bowings slowly with a metronome to establish a steady rhythmic pulse, ensuring a seamless legato when transitioning into the singing, cantabile episodes to realize the sweet tone intended by the editors.

About Composer / Editor :

Auguste Franchomme (1808–1884) was a celebrated French cellist and composer, a close friend of Frédéric Chopin, and a central figure in the refinement of the French cello school. Hugo Becker (1863–1941) was an influential German cellist and teacher, and Leonard Rose (1918–1984) was one of America's premier cello pedagogues, whose stellar lineage of students included Yo-Yo Ma and Lynn Harrell.
