  • Circle of Fifths
  • Scales
  • Metronome Games
  • Harmonics and Open Strings
  • Lateral Motion
  • Extended Techniques and a Discussion of the Bow
  • Practicing Together

With a particular emphasis on music of the 20th and 21st centuries, and its connections with earlier music, Fred Sherry takes the readeron a voyage of discovery of the art and science of cello technique, informed by music ranging from Bach all the way through to Berio.
