The Exercise Book (Intermediate)

Fun exercises

I am really enjoying playing these exercises on cello, working on a couple at a time to get down well. Love the different rhythms to try and variations of melody/harmony - just perfect for intermediate player. Appreciate the videos too, so helpful to hear it first, or check if what you're playing is accurate. So generous an offer at a sale price, worth having in your library. Thank you Xavier! You are an inspiration doing all this on bass.

Funny and interesting!

I am a violin teacher and concert performer. The exercises are interesting and definitely enjoyable and fun to play! The only downside is the harmonics in Studies Nos. 3, 6, and 9. It’s clear they weren’t originally written for the violin because many of the harmonics can’t be played. Perhaps they should be reworked specifically for the instrument’s technique. In any case, great work!

Beautiful studies

Hi, The studies are very beautiful and fairly easy. I just have a few questions about some very unusual harmonics in the violin part in Resonance and Dominant 7th. I was wondering whether they really are harmonics or whether they might be the result of an inaccurate transcription from double bass to violin. Thank you very much Isabelle
