Advanced string crossing practice! Two videos: 1) Practice slowly while planning for each string crossing. If the next note is on a different string, play both the note before and after the crossing as a double stop. This helps the bow arm anticipate the next string. It also helps the left hand prepare so the finger arrives on the new string on time. This practice also helps intonation because you will want to play the double stops in tune! This practice can create some interesting dissonant intervals such as a few semitones at the end of this passage. Swipe left: 2) Voila! The passage is clean and easy as a result of the right and left hands learning how to anticipate each string crossing! In this example I am practicing Courante from #cellosuite no 6 in D by #jsbach BWV 1012. In #bachsuites the #courante movements are always full of string crossings! I am playing this piece on a #violoncellodaspalla with 5 strings. String crossings are a challenge on this instrument due to the extra string as well as the flatter (compared to modern instruments) curve of the bridge. For additional string crossing tips please check out my videos posted on July 27 and June 18 #cello #cellist #celloplayer #stringplayer #stringpedagogy #cellotechnique #cellopractice #violintechnique #violinpractice #stringsattached #violinteacher #suzukiteacher #bach #johannsebastianbach #practiceroom #beautifulmusic #baroquemusic #classicalmusic #musiceducation #hellocello #cellomusic #cellolove (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEofGVRgLwy/?igshid=zsld1nb9emyt

Please enjoy Gavotte from Cello suite no. 6, by J.S. Bach! This movement is actually 2 Gavottes, both in the key of D. Gavotte 2 has sections which remind me of an organ or hurdy-gurdy as well as bagpipes. This movement gives me the impression of walking through an outdoor festival hearing music coming from different places as I pass by. My Suzuki violin students enjoy learning this piece in a wonderful and simplified arrangement in Suzuki violin school book 5. Suzuki’s arrangement is in the original key since the cello never uses the lowest C string in this movement. I invite you to enjoy the entire movement posted in my IGTV! #violoncellodaspalla #cello #cellomusic #cellomusician #cellosuite #gavotte #bachsuites #bach #jsbach #johannsebastianbach #beautifulmusic #cellist #baroquecello #baroquemusic #classicalmusic #suzukiteacher #suzukiviolinmethod #applausetothemusician #playhomieplay #videooftheday #videooftheweek #cellolovers #stringsattached #stringplayer #strings #cellopower #hellocello #performingarts #baroquestyle (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFE9DYigRKW/?igshid=182rdbvrvepbd

Please enjoy Gigue from #cellosuite no 1 by #johannsebastianbach The gigue was usually the lively and festive finale to a #baroque dance suite, which is true in this case. The dance is usually characterized by wide leaps within a triple meter. When performed without repeats, this gigue fits perfectly within the limits of a 1 minute standard Instagram video. #bach was clearly ahead of his time! Lol! #viola #violist #violaplayer #violapower #violaworld #violanation #baroquemusiclovers #baroquestyle #beautifulmusic #cello #cellomusic #soloviola #applausetothemusician #jsbach #gigue #jig #bachsuites #musicianlifestyle #practicediaries (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFXDMVfgXQo/?igshid=88vntwf9owig

#Imslp and travel #cello=perfection! It's amazing to me that I can be in a tropical village and download the Bach Suites for free via IMSLP. My travel cello sounds a bit baroque too. Today I'm practicing this lovely Allemande from Suite 3 in C. All after a morning surf session. Woah. #cellorock #bach #bachsuites #sayulita #nayarit #lalancha #travielo #mexico (at Playas de Sayulita)
