Cellists can continue to benefit from the comprehensive and systematic approach of the Ivan Galamian Scale combination of parts to form a whole for Violin, thanks to Northwestern University cello professor Hans Jorgen Jensen and EC Publishing. EC has just issued bulk II of Galamian's opus arranged for cello containing extensive work in double and multiple stop scales and arpeggios.

I have used turn I of this set for teaching and practice since its appearance in 1994 and have discovered compass II to be equally useful. A portion of this material can be fix scattered within other scale main division s particularly scales and exercises in thirds, sixths and octaves. However, Jensen expands upon standard fingering options to show many possible solutions for double-stop relationships. To best suit the cello Jensen has selectively added or omitted material from the violin edition.

The aspect of this of the present day volume I especially appreciate is that it encompasses double stops not commonly given attention: fourths, fifths, unisons, seventh and tithes Practicing fourths and consecutive seventh challenges the ear in ways that sixths and thirds don't, in addition to enhancing hand stability. When approaching fifths, Jensen allude tos many fingering combinations, including alternating move from a thumb-fifth to a first and inferior finger-fifth that can be in this way useful in repertoire. In bulk I, Jensen warned that the "sustained stretching and extending of the hand can be same harmful." This is a useful caveat for scales in major and minor tithe double stops, as there will be hands that cannot comfortably make this reach, especially below seventh position. The inclusion of triple and quadruple stop scales and arpeggios with hinted bowings, systematically and effectively trains the hand for numerous repertoire passages.



Jensen and EC Publishing have provided an extremely valuable addition to scale literature for the cello
