How to play FASTER on CELLO | Easy Dotzauer - Klingenberg Exercises | Book 1 No.98

Today's focus is on Exercise No. 98 from the Dotzauer - Klingenberg cello method, an essential piece for cello students working on developing speed and coordination between the left and right hands which will help to play much faster and better. Whether you're a beginner or at an intermediate level, study on your own or with the best cello teacher, this video is crafted to be accessible and challenging, starting at a slower tempo and gradually increasing to a more rapid pace. As we explore the middle part of this exercise, which traverses all four strings starting from the C string, emphasis is placed on maintaining round finger shapes to ensure clarity and prevent accidental string touches. This technique is crucial, especially when moving from lower to higher strings.
We will talk about the importance of proper bow positioning and movement, starting with a particular angle on the C string and adjusting as you move across to the A string. This careful attention to the bow prevents squeaky sounds and ensures a smooth transition between strings. The video progresses from a deliberate pace of quarter note 48 to a brisker tempo of quarter note 72, all while maintaining focus on finger flexibility and relaxed wrist movement. As an exciting climax, I will demonstrate the exercise at an impressively rapid pace, challenging viewers to join in as their skills allow.
