This stunning 3-movement work has it all! The opening movement, Flights of Fancy, symbolizes the element of air and features soaring phrases. The second movement, Terra, resembles an Appalachian lullaby and represents the element of Earth. The final movement, Fire and Ice, is a tour de force that captures the elements of fire and water meeting to create steam and the resulting kinetic energy. Glorious music!

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.
