This piece is a game changer, it's the first "real" piece students play, its melodically sweet yet simple with a dynamic rhythm that makes a student feel like a real cellist, as silly as it is, i say in cello world, there's before breval and after. Its a good piece for advanced beginners, on border of a lower intermediate student
I'm a cello teacher and orchestra member. I never played this piece in childhood. I see it's a very good piece for advanced beginner and intermediate cello students.
Thank you Maxim! When I first looked at this piece, I said, oh, that should be easy since it's all in 1st position. But, it was much more challenging than I thought. It's a great piece and I learned new skills. Thank you for explaining each section. You're my co-teacher. You helped me prepare the basics before my teaching lesson. Then, my teacher can find my personal weakness and help. Great combo!
Perfect! Thx a lot. Love Your music and explanations. I think it's time to say goodbye to the nineteenth century neverending hand positioning workshops. I spend several hours on it and I decided no more such mistakes.
You are welcome, Marzena. I think that the best way is to find some balance between working on these exercises and enjoying music you like to play. Without building proper technique it will be quite difficult to play well. You might feel that these exercises do not help, but one day you will feel the difference.
@@Cellopedia couldn’t agree more. But 2 mths of siting on the chair and making gorilla doesn’t make sense. I do not like it. Neither me nor my spine 🤣🤣🤣
Lovely teaching! Very gifted teacher! Lucky students who use his advise! It is time for everybody to have a little of cello education. It is universal.
A brilliant explanation of the “technique to be able to achieve the maximum amount from this great piece by Breval. Thanks , as usual for your master class. 😊😊
Thank you very much teacher is helping me a lot to be able to practice this part that I started this year precisely and then my teacher (the one in the comment below) has taught me a lot about this part and because thanks to you now I can practice it with better comfort, greetings from Colombia 😊
Ritenuto allows musicians to make an artistic choice how much to slow down. There are no rules, just your experience/musical taste. Metronome can not help to do it. Just try different ways.
Maxim, What is the difference between this video and the Udemy course titled "Pre-Intermediate Cello Course Part II - Sonata by J.B.Breval"? I noticed in the introduction, it uses some of the same clips from this RU-vid video. Thanks.
