Double Stop Musings for the Cello, Book Three presents a varied collection of exercises for the very advanced cellist. The book develops a disciplined left hand and a sense of fingerboard security using studies in double-stop thirds, sixths, octaves, and tenths. This book can be used to build left-hand strength, develop general tone, and was designed to prepare the cellist for the difficulties of double-stop-playing in advanced cello literature. Daily training with this book can raise the cellist's level of playing so that double-stop passages in pieces such as Dvorak's Cello Concerto and Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations can be more easily mastered. Double Stop Musings for the Cello, Book Four is a companion book. This book is intended for use with an instructor, or for use by a professional-level cellist.
