Repetoire Classics for Cello with CD

New School of Cello Studies Book 2 is a book of exercises chosen to develop stylistic awareness and technical control. The book is suitable for lower elementary grades and has been edited and fingered by Percy Such.

This is Book 2 of Duport’s 21 etudes series, edited and fingered by Leo Schulz. It follows Book 1 and comprises episodes 14-21, designed to improve finger agility and bowing techniques of intermediate to advanced cellists. 

Jean-Louis Duport, a renowned cellist, published “21 Etudes for Violoncello” in 1806, which became the fundamental reference point for cello teaching. The exercises have artistic value and are highly challenging. This recording is played with original instruments and historical bows, following precise philological criteria. It is a must-listen for cello enthusiasts and anyone interested in Classical era France.
