Description
Wohlfahrt's Foundation Studies have long been successful tools for violinists and violists in mastering the technical difficulties of their instruments. Originally conceived for a complete comprehension of first position on the violin and viola, Richard Hughey presents this new edition for cello students. Transcribing these etudes for the cello presents new challenges for the performer. Particular passages, for example, require the student to make use of the second and even third positions. The fingerings chosen for these passages reflect these shifting positions in a coherent and logical way. Trained comprehensively in both cello and conducting, Hughey shares his wealth of experience and knowledge in Wohlfahrt's Foundation Studies for the Cello.
