tonebase Cello Course

Tchaikovsky

Symphony No. 4, Mvt. II

Taught by renowned cellist 

Eric Kim

In this lesson, we learn that smooth, seamless shifts and bowings are two of the essential qualities to making this sing properly. Eric Kim explains why the excerpt needs to be played on one string, and we also learn about the importance of continuous vibrato. We also learn about shifting on the old finger versus the new finger, and what risks, as well as musical advantages, are involved with each.
