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.

Book 1. Par SEVCIK OTAKAR. Otakar ?evcík's op. 2 is a fundamental tutor for teaching the violin. It focuses on the elementary problems of right-hand technique which ?evcík practises in 4,000 variants of systematically organized exercises for all bowings. This famous tutor has remained in use to the present day and is equally valued by players of other string instruments. The distinguished cellist Tomá? Jamník has arranged the 'School of Bowing Technique? for the violoncello, taking into account its differences from the violin. He has transcribed individual exercises for the violoncello without neglecting ?evcík's original pedagogical aims. As a result, this edition differs fundamentally from the only known cello arrangement of this opus by Louis R. Feuillard./ Etude / Violoncelle
