Duport 21 Exercises for Cello
The French cello virtuoso Jean-Louis Duport
(1749-1819) was one of the most important
cellists of his time and worked as a solo
cellist at the Paris Opera and professor at the
Paris Conservatoire among others. His cello
method `Essai sur le doigter du violoncelle et
la conduite de l`archet` (1770) contained an
appendix with the present 21 studies which
spread very quickly because of their
completely new fingering (thumb position).
Today, Duport`s studies form part of the
standard repertoire of the training as a cellist,
not only because of the clearly structured
technical tasks covering all aspects of
advanced cello playing (double stops,
velocity, triads, playing on several strings,
thumb position, intonation in lesser known
keys, etc.). They are also very popular
because of their appealing musical layout
and useful to train tone and expression. This
edition is a must-have for every cello student.
