A portfolio of cello exercises 2

Warming up and keeping one’s basic technique in peak condition, (or working to get to peak condition) is fundamentally important, yet many cellists do not have routine exercises to follow. This book, the second of a two volume set, which complements book 1, provides the exercises that every cellist needs, for both the left and right hands: bow off the string; right arm choreography; shifting; winter skating; various portamenti; fives; string crossing; octaves; resilience exercises; double-stopping ritual; pizzicato; a few spiccati; bow control – accents.
