The bow school Billy Bogen & Gwindi Greifhand - Expedition mit dem Cellobogen is aimed at 6 to 12 year old children from the 1st year of lessons. It can accompany the pupils' training over a long period of time and offers an ideal supplement to any cello tutor, as the basics of cello technique are deepened here in 88 exercises. The focus is on the development of the bow hand. With scales, triads and thirds over 1 - 2 octaves, six of the most important stroke types are trained. The imaginative approach to the technical subject is essential here, to which the lovely illustrations by Anette Bley in particular also contribute.

The theme of this work is man & machine, as commissioned by Michael Nicolas. The theme is represented in that the Cellist becomes both in the piece man & machine where man indicates performing expressively with emotion, and a musical approach to the music, and machine indicates more precise rhythmic and technical accuracy, a somewhat stricter approach to the music. These two approaches gradually transition from one to another throughout the work. Anna Thorvaldsdottir frequently works with large sonic structures that tend to reveal the presence of a vast variety of sustained sound materials, reflecting her sense of imaginative listening to landscapes and nature. Her music tends to portray a flowing world of sounds with an enigmatic lyrical atmosphere.
