Alfredo C. Piatti - Method For Cello Book 2 📚

Level: Intermediate

Alfredo C. Piatti's "Method For Cello Book 2" is an intermediate-level cello method book that builds upon the foundation established in Book 1. Piatti, a prominent nineteenth-century composer, educator, and cellist, compiled this method by incorporating teaching compositions from renowned authors such as Duport, Romberg, Dotzauer, and Lee.

The book provides concise yet highly useful methodic notes to guide students through the early stages of playing technique. It covers essential aspects of cello playing, including exercises, arpeggios, scales, and introduces students to advanced techniques such as vibrato, pizzicato, varied bowing, and syncopation.

As the student progresses through the book, they are introduced to the fifth, sixth, and seventh positions, including those in the Tenor Clef. This expansion into higher positions allows students to explore a wider range of the cello's capabilities and prepares them for more challenging repertoire.

It is important to note that a basic level of music theory is required to fully benefit from Piatti's method. Understanding music theory concepts will enhance the student's ability to comprehend and apply the techniques and exercises presented in the book.
