Scales for viola

Scales for viola - Simon Fischer

Scales and scale studies for the viola.

Detta är en omfattande skalbok utan tidigare motstycke!

Simon Fischer har utvecklat en helt ny metod att öva skalor på, där han använder traditionella sätt endast som utgångspunkt. Han fokuserar istället på ofta försummade delar av violatekniken, som han har utformat lämpliga övningar till; för att utveckla lyssnandet, stimulera sinnet och träna upp tekniken.
