- German cellist Alban Gerhardt presented on his patreon channel (www.patreon.com/albangerhardt) all of his eight daily technical routines in eight different videos as mentioned in his recent conversation with Pablo Ferrandez' #TalkingCello. His patron Paul Dandurand suggested him to put them all in one video - here it is! But in case you are interested in watching them in greater details, please don't hesitate to sign up, there are also videos on his unique memorising technique, on the bow arm, on vibrato, on his view on Bach and many more.

Most of your warm-ups are more challenging to me than what I try to play after I warm up. 😁
Thank you, Alban. You bring many smiles to my heart.
Brilliant to see these in their own video! As an cello hobbyist it's so beneficial to have resources like this from people who have really mastered their craft. I'm glad Pablo brought me over here!
feel free to sign up - if you don't like what you see, I'd happily reimburse you ;)
Prima Herr Gerhardt!
Jetzt müsste man nur noch so spielen können wie Sie!
Insightful, Thoughtful and Incredibly Useful .... an Artist of Great Understanding Wisdom .... !!!!
Great stuff Alban! THANKS!!
Thank You!
thank you so much for this video. extremely helpful! i will check out the patreon
This is wonderful and helpful thank you.
These are great Alban, thanks for the compilation!
Gracias por compartir con tanta generosidad!!
Fantastic! Many thanks for these Alban.
you are very welcome, Jerry!
Super helpful! ❤ thank you very much!
beast technique, beast explanations, will follow the routine.
thanks, The Evy - but this is just the sum-up, the real explanation and what to whatch out for would be on my patreon page (www.patreon.com/albangerhardt)
Extremely helpful video Alban ! Thank you so much for the content
glad you like it, Ricardo
This is great! The shifts feel so relaxed but also so precise!! Also - I'd give my soul for a banana bow masterclass
oh, don't give your soul, just sign up on Patreon and you get one for MUCH cheaper :)
Superb!
Thanks!!
I’ll try this, Mahalo
Thank you for this! My teacher recommended your shifting study to me (the "Oistrakh" I think?) and I have to start on that this week... looks like it'll help a lot, but I confess I'm glad I don't have to start on the thumb just yet haha.
oh no, so sorry for you! Who is your teacher? Well, just do it slowly, no need to rush through it like I did (I get impatient with a camera being pointed at me!)
Thank you Alban!
I will try it after studying Dotzauers 40 exercises! 🤔
Sure, do that, but I'd guarantee you that doing these daily routines, and not just the sum-up here, but the real thing, is much more effective than doing all Dotzauers, Poppers and Duports together. We tend to neglect the basics and worry too much about the technical fancy stuff, while the hardest things to play for us remain the Bachsuites...
Alban, what do you say at 1:35? I can't make it out in the video. Thank you so much for this precious video. You are such a fine cellist.
Starting tomorrow!! On the double bass
wow!!
@@albancello obviously not all the exercises can’t be done on the bass like Piatti for instance, but I manage to fine something similar and it has been a blessing to implement this routine. But I don’t understand why do you practice only E flat scale? I’m guessing you save time with just one scale...
@@coporofrito pure laziness - and because my teacher back then told me that e-flat major was the hardest key, so I stuck with it. Now it's almost like jinxing it to change that "rule" :) Oh, the Piatti isn't about the notes nor the piece, it's actually more about the string change, and that you can do even just with open strings, so good for you to adapt it for the bass!
Excellent! Which Secvik is exercise number 3 please?
it's op 3 No.19, I think
well, if I'm lucky, in about 20 years, I might be able to do these :)
Try the following experiment:
Put the instrument at the right side of the body,
take the bow in the left hand.
Now try to put your right fingers on the fingerboard in a correct position as you usually do .
Indeed,
you will feel yourself as an absolutely beginner!
Oh, I have done that many times in front of school classes to present exactly that: how easily even somebody who has been playing professionally for 30 years will sound like a bloody beginner - rather shocking that is... :)
I've done this and it makes me wonder if this is what it's like to try and do normal daily tasks after having a brain injury. Something that should be so familiar and secure, but suddenly it's completely foreign and clumsy
2:51
I feel guilty to watch this for free. Thanks a lot.
By the way, your cello is a beast! Please tell us about it.
Charles Beare says it’s the only uncut Goffriller he has seen, otherwise there is nothing to tell about that cello 😉
Very interesting indeed. I would love to see a video about your cello and how it came to be the one you play.
@@MichaelTomlinson00 Good idea, I will definitely make a videoblog about that, since it's quite a story, which involves my old cello having been stolen from my basement - but unfortunately this would be only visible on my patreon site as I am too busy trying to come up with exclusive content for my patrons. This post here is just an exception... ;)
@@albancello Great! Ill be heading over to Patreon then!
the cello is so out of tune!
So sorry, what an unforgivable mistake - thanks so much for pointing it out, will finally try to get it in tune 😉
