I sort of improvised here but a few ideas nonetheless about Kabalevsky’s second movement. Enjoy!

We all have to do certain things every day to keep in shape. Whether we are already professional musicians or students, there is a lot of physical and inner work to be done.

For the last movement of Saint-Saënscello concerto, I focused on technique and ways to work on the difficult passages in this virtuosic movement.

Here's another musing to keep you motivated to practice! 🎻

I hope that this musing can be helpful to you, whether it is adding a new shift to your stash of shifts, or a new way of working on the quick triplets bow stroke.

Here is a masterclass on the fourth movement of Shostakovich's Cello Concerto. I hope you enjoy.
