ok, I see. Cue notes would help much, too, I guess.

Do you suggest having an accolade of two staffs in the cello part
for the concerto above? While the solo cello is playing his solo, the rest
of the cellos are playing different notes!

Definitely. Every piece of music one is trying on the instrument is
widening the experience. Reading the notes gets you much closer to
the music than just listening, and trying to play (even if it is much too
hard) is even better. At least that's my experience! (Not to speak of
exercise!)
