Piano accompaniment backing tracks
Dmitri Kabalevsky finished his first Cello Concerto in 1949, and despite its date it is a fairly traditional concerto, with melodies based on Russian songs and along typical Romantic lines. The second movement is a beautiful elegy to Russian soldiers killed in the war.
These piano accompaniment tracks help make practising more effective and enjoyable! They are recorded by a professional accompanist and can help you keep in tune and in time, as you listen to the piano part for this work. Many customers have found them a cost-effective alternative to hiring a pianist in the early stages of learning a new piece, whether that be for an exam, recital, audition or simply for fun! Please scroll down for samples and details of each movement.
