Schott Master Class Cello

Mit Technik und Fantasie zum künstlerischen Ausdruck

The number of methods and étude collections existing for violoncello is huge. But what to do when no teacher is on the spot to explain why a certain passage of the concerto simply would not work out? The renowned cellist Maria Kliegel pioneers a whole new way: her experience and knowledge have been summed up to constitute the 'quintessence'. In the book, she explains in great detail technical problems, stating examples from the repertoire. On the DVD she demonstrates the correct technique, giving tips on how to master famous passages from the concert literature and on effective practising. A must for the advanced instrumentalist who looks for answers to special questions or who has always wanted to know how to overcome such technical hurdles. The Master Class series was awarded the special prize digita 2007 for new developments which can change and further learning with new media. The convincing editing of the learning content by renowned experts and the unobtrusive media design of the videos provide the reader – no matter whether students, advanced singers or interested amateurs – with numerous suggestions on a high level. Thanks to the exercises and examples of interpretation filmed in live action and processed digitally, performers are given excellent support.
