Dowani 3 Tempi Play Along is an effective and time-tested method of practicing that offers more than conventional play-along editions. Dowani 3 Tempi Play Along enables you to learn a work systematically and with accompaniment at different tempi. The first thing you hear on the CD is the concert version in a first-class recording with solo instrument and orchestral, continuo, or piano accompaniment. Then the piano or harpsichord accompaniment follows in slow and medium tempo for practice purposes with the solo instrument heard softly in the background at a slow tempo. Finally, you can play at the original tempo to the accompaniment of an orchestra, piano, or basso continuo. All versions appearing on the CD were recorded live by renowned soloists, accompanists, and orchestras. There are no synthesised sounds in a Dowani edition!

The first of Romberg's Opus 38 sonatas, newly edited by Piatigorsky protégé, Jeffrey Solow.

This Sonata in E minor was originally the first sonata in Trois Trios d'une Difficulté Progressive pour le Violincelle, Viola, et Violincelle, Op. 38. The present edition, arranged for three cellos, is ideal for cello lessons.

From the editor's notes: "Bernhard Romberg's Three Themes of Mozart is a work full of pyrotechnics, traveling up and down the instrument at breakneck speed. It is full of scales, arpeggios, and double-stops that one might expect from one of the foremost cellists of all time..What I discovered between the layers of difficulty of this work was that these pieces encapsulate what Mozart operas are all about. It is full of the mischief, humor, love, honor, and pathos that one might encounter if you went to hear works such as Don Giovanni, Cosi fan tutte, or The Abduction from the Seraglio. In these works Romberg uses main themes from tow of Mozart's most celebrated operas, The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute, to compose three sets of variations for violin and cello, each one developing a dramatic storyline of their own."
