Klengel's Technical Studies are a great compilation of scales and arpeggios helping cellists focus on intonation, bow distribution, clarity, tone production, and rhythm. This book is a very helpful study guide in advancing players, helping them to understand every area and position of the cello. Klengel's studies have become an asset in my daily practice and are a very helpful tool in playing any style or piece of music with precision.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Ali Haraburda, Cellist and 2008 Shar Apprentice\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"ui-tabs-panel\" id=\"tabs1\"\u003e\n\u003clink rel=\"File-List\" href=\"file:\/\/\/C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CPhoebeG%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml\"\u003e\n\u003c!--[if gte mso 9]\u003e\u003cxml\u003e \u003cw:worddocument\u003e  \u003cw:view\u003eNormal\u003c\/w:view\u003e  \u003cw:zoom\u003e0\u003c\/w:zoom\u003e  \u003cw:punctuationkerning\u003e\u003c\/w:punctuationkerning\u003e  \u003cw:validateagainstschemas\u003e\u003c\/w:validateagainstschemas\u003e  \u003cw:saveifxmlinvalid\u003efalse\u003c\/w:saveifxmlinvalid\u003e  \u003cw:ignoremixedcontent\u003efalse\u003c\/w:ignoremixedcontent\u003e  \u003cw:alwaysshowplaceholdertext\u003efalse\u003c\/w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext\u003e  \u003cw:compatibility\u003e   \u003cw:breakwrappedtables\u003e\u003c\/w:breakwrappedtables\u003e   \u003cw:snaptogridincell\u003e\u003c\/w:snaptogridincell\u003e   \u003cw:wraptextwithpunct\u003e\u003c\/w:wraptextwithpunct\u003e   \u003cw:useasianbreakrules\u003e\u003c\/w:useasianbreakrules\u003e   \u003cw:dontgrowautofit\u003e\u003c\/w:dontgrowautofit\u003e  \u003c\/w:compatibility\u003e  \u003cw:browserlevel\u003eMicrosoftInternetExplorer4\u003c\/w:browserlevel\u003e \u003c\/w:worddocument\u003e\u003c\/xml\u003e\u003c![endif]--\u003e\u003c!--[if gte mso 9]\u003e\u003cxml\u003e \u003cw:latentstyles deflockedstate=\"false\" latentstylecount=\"156\"\u003e \u003c\/w:latentstyles\u003e\u003c\/xml\u003e\u003c![endif]--\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!-- \/* Style Definitions *\/ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal\t{mso-style-parent:\"\";\tmargin:0in;\tmargin-bottom:.0001pt;\tmso-pagination:widow-orphan;\tfont-size:12.0pt;\tfont-family:\"Times New Roman\";\tmso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";}@page Section1\t{size:8.5in 11.0in;\tmargin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;\tmso-header-margin:.5in;\tmso-footer-margin:.5in;\tmso-paper-source:0;}div.Section1\t{page:Section1;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003c!--[if gte mso 10]\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e \/* Style Definitions *\/ table.MsoNormalTable\t{mso-style-name:\"Table Normal\";\tmso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;\tmso-tstyle-colband-size:0;\tmso-style-noshow:yes;\tmso-style-parent:\"\";\tmso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;\tmso-para-margin:0in;\tmso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;\tmso-pagination:widow-orphan;\tfont-size:10.0pt;\tfont-family:\"Times New Roman\";\tmso-ansi-language:#0400;\tmso-fareast-language:#0400;\tmso-bidi-language:#0400;}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003c![endif]--\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdited by Leonard Rose, Published by International Music Company.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDifficulty: A2 (Apprentice Rating)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shar Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45593084362983,"sku":"3027 211","price":18.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/7414\/9095\/products\/media_dfcc39c3-229c-47a5-9116-7a90c4edebda.jpg?v=1670333845"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.sharmusic.com\/collections\/curated-method-series-books.oembed?page=11","provider":"Shar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
