About this piece
The study of tenths continues with studies in shifting from an octave into a tenth, and then through the positions. The book uses strength and placement exercises to train the hand in shifting with tenth double stops. Representing one of the most difficult aspects of cello technique, tenths appear in the Haydn Cello Concerto in D major and the Prokofiev Sinfonia Concertante. This book works well along with Double Stop Musings for the Cello, Books One through Four.
