need urgent help

[imbetter]

hello what are some relatively long pieces (or sonatas) for piano and cello with a not too too hard cello part?

thanks for your help.

How about the Chopin Op65 old chap.

well it cant really be stretching my own pianistic abilities either.

These days, unfortunately, the instant gratification of the internet has taken the place of the music library, where one can go to a single section (unlike the internet, which is all spread out), and examine practically every sonata for cello and piano ever written, usually before 1920.  Depending on the library, you can examine every sonata, period. 

You can get answers so fast on the internet, that you forget you are usually getting (even on Wikipedia) about 10% of the answer to your question.

My point is, go to the damn library, go to the section for cello and piano sonatas, and look for yourself.

Sensible suggestion, but probably alien to the modern "ass glued to the chair" generation.

My local library had to close as it was just not used anymore.

what about "lied ohne worte" by mendelssohn? the one for cello and piano

[ahinton]

With you almost all the way here, Thal, "old chap"...

Both the Brahms sonatas, the two Fauré sonatas, the Bridge and the Britten, the Shostakovich, the two Ornstein, Beethoven's two Op. 102, the Rakhmaninov, the Magnard - mon Dieu, there's just so much out there and I've barely even scratched the surface. Having scratched that surface, here's another bit of shameless advertising - my own, Op. 37...

Best,

NOTHING TOO HARD

NOTHING TOO HARD

Since we don't know what is too hard for you, you better go find something for yourself, or make your own arrangement.

Didn't Prokofiev write a sonata for Cello and Piano, or am I completely wrong   I thought I heard a piano/cello, might've been just cello not sure.
