Great matching sheets for practice pieces !By DiamondsBought this to try to accompany some friends who are studying the cello with the method; and it was easily found; ordered; and came in perfect shape. It was their teacher who brought it to their attention; when asked for pieces to play with piano accompaniment. Off to practice.
