Nice etude and good explanations on the different segments. Smoothness is worth practicing in those lower notes that require good valve work. Nice job Brian. I got to hear Doug Yeo in a master class and he played a Bach cello suite so smooth that it was hard to tell he even had valves. That's tons of practice to get to that level.
Thanks Dave! You are definitely correct. Legato arpeggios and scales need to be in your daily diet of practicing! And yes we are ALL trying to sound like “Mr. Encyclopedia” himself Mr. Doug Yeo. What a great career he has had.
