Reverie au bord de la mer (Reverie by the Sea; Andante A. 155) [Alf:36-M402791]

In 1848, when Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880) returned to Paris from his highly successful concert tour hewas hailed in Le Corsaire as "le prİsident du violoncelle" and in Le Mİnestrel as "le violoncelliste pittoresque par excellence." His own performance of the RŠVERIE AU BORD DELA MER in Paris was described as a "mİlancholique et suave inspiration qu'on croirait empruntİe   la muse de Schubert [a melancholy and suave inspiration that one would believe was borrowed from Schubert's muse]." The cello work is a transcription of one of Offenbach's own songs for voice and piano entitled DAS DEUTSCHE VATERLIED. This edition has been edited by Michael Kaye and Emilio Col³n.
