Most compendiums of studies and exercises suffer the same fate as the infamous home-trainers: one sets out full of good intentions but after a few weeks of blood sweat and tears they are left to gather dust in a corner. Why? Any athlete prefers a proper cross-country run to a stint on the treadmill. If there is variety and a chance to make decisions all the senses become involved. May this set of studies be spared the fate of the exercise-machine; rather they should serve as the equivalent of a cross-country run with people feeling liberated ‘with-it’ and keen to set and achieve their own targets.

A collection of challenging and specialised studies exploring the variety of sounds and techniques of the Cello. Each study is full of unique character perfectly suited to the concert hall as well as private rehearsal. Some represent virtuosic technical displays whereas others are more lyrical and challenge the performer's interpretive skills.

Studies play an important role in musical instrument training. Gerhard Mantel's new edition Etüden üben (Practising studies) (3 volumes) complements his previous successful book Cello üben (ED 8714). The basics of cello technique are worked on in selected studies, with the focus being not only on the ability to learn a technically and musically oriented text within a reasonable time but also on the solution of certain problems typical of the cello. Vol. 1 covers aspects ranging from the orientation on the fingerboard via changes of position, vibrato and trills to changes of strings and double stops. Vol. 2 deals with fingerings, whole-bow stroke, dynamics, articulation and types of bowing, among others. The final volume contains studies on legato, arpeggios, chords, martellato, staccato, spiccato and changes of rhythm. The accompanying volume of commentaries (for all three volumes) describes in detail the methodological practising processes.Contenu - Legato - String crossing - Arpeggios - Chords - Martellato - Staccato - Spiccato - Change of rhythm
