An anthology of music for young cellists written by women that is published by Schott

This 128-page graded anthology for cello and piano compiled and edited by Beverley Ellis, is the first part of a three-volume series dedicated to cello music written by female composers. It is a progressive compendium of educational and concert pieces for cello and piano, composed by women from the 19th century to the present day. The anthology aims to help ensure that works by women composers become an established part of the cello repertoire.

Volume one, published in January 2026, has twenty-eight pieces of easy and moderate difficulty.

It is such an honor to have a piece in this anthology!
