La fille aux cheveux de lin (The Girl with the Flaxen Hair)

This version of Debussy’s beloved piano piece is one of SAKURA’s most requested arrangements! SAKURA’s video of Peter Myers’s arrangement has over 300,000 views on YouTube. This edition benefits from the extreme range available to the cello. Every part is difficult, but parts I and IV have solo material in the extreme upper register. Four of the parts have delicate artificial harmonics toward the end of the piece, which earns this arrangement the highest difficulty rating.
