The Violoncello Studies by Bernhard Cossmann (1822-1910) provide specific exercises for the development of the left hand such as double stop trill studies finger dexterity exercises chord scale and thumb position studies which intensively include the use of the fourth finger in particular. This is what gives these studies their special value and make them indispensable to the training as a cellist. They are aimed at the advanced pupil and student but also at the professionally trained cellist who wants to improve and maintain the dexterity and velocity of the left-hand fingers by means of short exercises.

Par BACH JOHANN BERNHARD. Whoever reveres the name Bach will no doubt be interested in Johann Bernhard. Though there are few surviving works by J. B. Bach, who was a church musician and court harpsichordist active in Erfurt and Eisenach, they are sometimes intimately connected to Johann Sebastian Bach, who copied the orchestral works of his second cousin for study purposes. Johann Bernhard's chaconnes are typical of his time and were even attributed to his celebrated cousin in at least one major source./ Répertoire / Piano
