Obligatory reading. - from the foreword by Janos Starker. Cello Technique is not an instruction book or a cello method but a scientific explanation of learning processes, bodily movements, and principles of sound production. Simple drawings and easily performed experiments show how to conserve energy and avoid fatigue and muscular tension. Gerhard Mantel discusses placement of the fingers on the fingerboard, position changes, vibrato, and various types of bowing; and he offers valuable advice on getting the most out of practicing and how not to practice.
