Sixths for the Cello, Book One

This book begins the study of sixth double-stops on the cello by using a 2-1 fingering for half-step spacing and a 3-1 fingering for whole-step spacing. The first part of the book teaches the C major scale in sixths on the A and D strings, while the rest of the book explores sixths in a number of other keys. Each exercise is followed by a short piece that uses the sixths that were just learned. Written for late-intermediate or advanced cellists, this cello double stop book works well along with Three-Octave Scales for the Cello, Book One, and is intended for use with an instructor.
