Essay on the Craft of Cello Playing - Volume 2

Titel: "Essay on the Craft of Cello Playing - Volume 2"

This widely admired work gives Bunting’s insights about cello playing in a commentary interspersed with exercises designed to produce rapid development of instrumental skill. Volume 2 is devoted to the action, placing and movement of the left hand. It proposes new ways of patterning the various positions and movements and uses ideas of finger-action first proposed by Casals.

Volume 1 starts with a ‘Prelude’, a searching enquiry into the mental and physical factors affecting the skilful functioning and development of technique. There follows a section of commentary and exercises to build a skilful and artistic bowing technique. The next section, on the various aspects of coordination, draws upon ideas described in the Prelude, and clarifies central problems not often resolved.
