Cello Ensemble Recommendations

The cello is a string instrument that often supports the lower registers in an ensemble.
However, the cello is a very versatile instrument and can do just about anything.

In the lower registers, the cello is the solid foundation of the ensemble,
In the middle register, it can play melodies with a sweet sound,
In the upper register, the cello can be transformed into a soprano with great volume and tension.

Above all, its full, overtone-rich sound quality makes even a few notes sound magnificent.

Yes, it is true!
The cello alone can create an orchestral sound without the need for any other instruments.

In Chimata, this ensemble is called a cello ensemble = celloan.
In this issue, we would like to introduce a cello-only ensemble piece.
