Goltermann Cello Concerto No. 4 Op. 65 for Cello & String Orchestra

Georg Goltermann's Cello Concerto No. 4 is a true gem and an absolute rite of passage for any aspiring cellist. It's the one concerto that gives you the thrill of being a soloist, without the terror of an impossible technical challenge. We love how it feels like a big-name Romantic concerto, just miniaturised for maximum fun! Georg Goltermann (1824–1898) was a virtuoso cellist and composer, and a true unsung hero of cello pedagogy. He understood the instrument inside and out, crafting works that are not only beautiful but also immensely practical for building technique. His Cello Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 65 is affectionately known as the "Student's Concerto" because it offers a perfect introduction to the concerto form—complete with expressive melodies, lively rhythms, and satisfying solo passages. Our new edition cleans up the original, providing a clear, spacious layout that makes it a pleasure to sight-read and rehearse. It’s the perfect blend of musicality and practicality, ensuring a rewarding playing experience for both student and teacher.
