Norwegian folk violin music is primarily associated with the Hardanger fiddle, a national instrument with 8-9 strings, four/five of which are bowed and the rest are sympathetic strings that resonate and add overtones. This unique instrument is known for producing a polyphonic sound used in traditional dances and music, and it is often ornately decorated with carvings and inlay.
Useful for cellists of all ages and abilities, Open String Bow Workouts for the Cello by Cassia Harvey is especially helpful for adult learners who have limited time to practice but want to sound the best they can.
Harvey, String Crossing for the Cello Book One, The Open String Book
Improve your cello bowing technique! This book teaches string-crossing technique on the cello with open-string studies that allow you to focus on the right hand.
Through the use of staccato bowing to encourage precisely-timed string crossing, these cello studies can help you develop bow control, smooth and even string crossing, and a more beautiful tone.
This book could be followed by String Crossing for the Cello, Book Two, which uses double stops to work on balance between two strings as a fundamental principle behind string crossing.
