Sebastian Lee, a cellist and composer in the early 1800's, is not well known considering the large number of compositions for cello he published during his lifetime. Of all his work, only his etudes, which he published collections of at every difficulty level, remain known today. His Opus 70 etudes are known for their beauty, something not often said about short etudes, as well as their educational value. A second cello part is also included with these etudes, intended for teacher accompaniment.
