Fischer, S.: Scales & Scale Studies for the viola

Descrizione

This is a scale book of unprecedented scope. Simon Fischer has developed an entirely new method in which, using the traditional ways of practising scales only as a point of departure, he focuses on numerous often-neglected aspects of the violist’s technique. For every element he has designed exercises that sensitize the ear, stimulate the mind and build the playing apparatus of the violist.Many well-known Fischer classics are also incorporated, including practice methods for intonation, smooth bowing, stringcrossing, fast fingers, fourth-finger extensions and placing fingers in blocks.The innovative and wide-ranging material in Scales keeps the player turning the pages, discovering yet more exciting ways toapproach scales. The wealth of thought-provoking exercises encourages violists to re-evaluate their practice – developing theplaying skills of violists at all levels from intermediate to professional.Publisher: Edition Peters EP72544.Content:Part 1: Scales and arpeggios in low positions without shiftingPart 2:Three-octave scales and arpeggios – preparatory practicePart 3: Three-octave scales, arpeggios and chromaticscalesPart 4: Scales and arpeggios on one stringPart 5: Four-octave scalesand arpeggiosFischer, S.: Scales & Scale Studies for the viola – Spartiti per viola
