Product Overview
Published by ECS Publishing. In the preface to this work, Ivan Galamian and Frederick Neumann state that Since technical mastery depends more on control of mind over muscle than upon mere agility of fingers, the direct way to such masterylies through working procedures which present a constant challenge to the students thinking processes. This Technique aims to address all the challenges normally faced by advancing students of the cello and then systematically work them until they are no longer problematic. Volume 1 of this important contribution to the cellists arsenal is divided into two main parts: scale and arpeggio exercises, and bowing and rhythm patterns. The bowing and rhythm section is a separate part and pulls out of the book. For exercises dealing with double and multiple stops, see Volume 2. By Ivan Galamian, edited and arranged for Cello by Hans Jorgen Jensen.
