Mendelssohn

Scherzo from A Midsummer Night's Dream

Taught by renowned cellist 

Eric Kim

The hardest excerpt from this Scherzo is typically Letter N to O. Eric Kim demonstrates how we can use a slightly off-the-string stroke for most notes, and tells us why we shouldn't accent the hemiolas. He also provides a short masterclass in bouncing the bow and crossing strings.
