A Cellist's (or Violinist's or Violist's or Bass player's) Garden of Verses

This is a set of solo pieces that lie mostly in the first position. You can find the music on this page of the IMSLP. There are also versions of this set of pieces there for solo violin, for solo viola, and for solo double bass.


Here's a great performance of the whole set by cellist Diane Chaplin:


I love this recording of the set put together by Sam Araya and his students at Sam's Cello Studio in Urbana, Illinois. It has Stevenson's poems, artwork by kids, and excellent, thoughtful, heartfelt performances by his students.
