Amazing description on how to begin playing the cello. Every young Cellist or person starting out should watch this even those seasoned Cellists. It’s a good refresher course
Ich war im engen Kontakt mit Maitre von 1972, bis 1987. Ich lernte bei ihm ordentlich mehr als 6 Jahre ( Paris, Siena, Skopje, Wien ). Maitre kam auf seine Ideen so ein video zu vorstellen in Wien. Zuerst versuchte er mit einem unseren Kolegen ( Robert aus Belgium ) zu verschaffen. Das klappte nicht. Nachdem hatte er das gemacht wie sie jetzt sehen. Auf meiner fb Seite schrieb ich etwas von Maitre. Einige Fakten seiner Biografie sind wircklich verwunderlich und einzigartig .
I agree with the left hand articulation of the fingers. He demonstrate how not to do it, but does that with his 4th finger half of the time. Otherwise, this is wonderful information!!
It sounds like Duport #7 from his 21 Etudes. My own teacher had me use this to isolate different bow strokes: forearm, wrist (slurred) forearm at top of bow, wrist (separate), coleé and whole arm slurred. Great exercise!
Fabulous 'dexterity' of his right hand, but the danger is that all this finger work reduces the organic way or transferring weight onto the string. Still, I guess for heavy duty articulations, it make a lot of sense. Note how extreme his wrist pronation is at the tip. - far from 'useless,' as he argues. Note also how both sets of fingers operate in a fairly similar fashion, at least in terms of handshape. The thumbs are so over-used by students, it is refreshing to see his looking loose and relaxed. One thing I don't quite get is how he suggests the fingers should never pull sideways when pealing off the string... yet demonstrates better clarity when he actually does it! Lifting without the slightest pull often means a late response of the string to its increased length. Exactly what he gets at 13' 17"! Otherwise all good haha
