Not exactly a cello piece, but the Arpeggione by Schubert is very nice.

Blatent plug:

If anyone is interested in the chart, I just finished engraving a new version from Cimarron Music on Friday. It took forever to get it done! It is a 28 minute piece and there is a sound sample on our site:

I will also adda .pdf sample soon.

Just type in Schubert or Werden (the arranger) at the bottom of the page.

Variations On A Rococo Theme For Violoncello And Orchestra Op. 33 by Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky sounds marvellous on euphonium.

Bach's second Cello Suite was a competition piece last year. It was difficult, but a really good experience because we don't get to play Bach very much.

Horn music also works quite well. I have played the Schumann Adagio and Allegro many times on Tuba. Anyone play it on Euph.? I curious how it would sound.

I have recordings for Horn, Cello and Tuba.

The Werner Icking music archive contians the Bach 'cello suites free for download. It also has a version of the Schubert Arpeggione sonata, transcribed for viola, with some carefully considered octave changes (there's a MIDI file to listen to). One of the very difficult parts of performing the Schubert work on a wind instrument is realizing the very soft dynamics that Schubert dictated. The other is that the range is extreme, even for a 'cello player and the best results will probably be obtained by doubling back some of the very high parts an octave.

Another possibility might be the Haydn C major 'cello concerto...

There's a ton of free 'cello and double bass music on the web if you know where to look.

Kevin Thompson is the principal trombone of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, and is a very fine euphonium player. He has had a cd of all the Bach Cello Suites for a few years (listen how well he utilizes circurlar breathing) and has recently released a cd of TELEMANN fantasias.

Enjoy!!
