Download or read book CelloMind written by Hans Jørgen Jensen and published by Ovation Press, Ltd.. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CelloMind is a two-part pedagogical method book that focuses on intonation and left-hand cello technique. The coauthors of the book are Hans Jørgen Jensen, Professor of cello at the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University and Minna Rose Chung, Associate Professor of Cello at the Desautels Faculty of Music at the University of Manitoba. Part I: Intonation. The mystery of intonation is revealed by defining and explaining the scientific principles that govern it. To know and understand how to combine the three primary intonation systems has never before been expounded in a methodology publication--and for good reason. Playing with exquisite intonation has mostly been reserved for those who possess a strong intuitive sense; however, CelloMind breaks down this taboo using a systematic approach with a highly attuned manner. The three systems of intonation that string players most commonly use today--equal temperament, just intonation, and Pythagorean tuning--are each explored and explained in great detail. All chapters in the book include many practical samples and listening exercises that bridge the gap between the theory and its application. The chapters on intonation conclude with practical examples from the following repertoire: "Intonation Performance Practice in the Bach Solo Cello Suites" and "Intonation Performance Practice with Piano." Part II: Left-Hand Technique. The left-hand technique chapters in this section complement the study of intonation by providing a solid foundation of skills for essential cello playing. The topics and exercises have been selected to cover a wide range of technical skills that include playing with a light left-hand touch, speed, coordination, balanced vibrato, agility, finger independence, and efficient shifting. Original exercises developed for students over many years have also been incorporated into these chapters, as well as studies from Julius Klengel, Bernhard Cossmann, Louis R. Feuillard, Jean-Louis Duport, Yakov Rosenthal, and Fritz Albert Christian Rudinger.

Download or read book How to Play Cello Instrument for Beginners written by Manson Jordan and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cello is a beautiful four-stringed instrument with a sound that is comparable to that of the violin but with deeper and richer sound production. Like the violin, it is sometimes viewed as the tenor voice, with the violin, viola, and double bass being its counterparts. The cello is larger than the violin and viola, but smaller than the double bass, and is the violin family's second-lowest instrument. The cello was invented in the early sixteenth century, along with a number of other violin-family instruments. Andrea Amati, widely regarded as the creator of the violin family as we know and love it today, created the earliest surviving cellos. The cello, which is tuned in perfect fifths, produces a mellow, dark, and powerful sound that is immediately distinct from other instruments in an ensemble. While mastering the cello takes years of practice and instruction. This book will help you acquire the fundamentals by understanding how to hold the instrument, memorizing the basic notes, and practicing precise bow strokes. GET YOUR COPY NOW by Clicking BUY NOW.
