Kusek, Ryszard - Twenty One Studies

The rhythmic element in all examples is mostly based on quarter and eighth notes that are supposed to promote an appropriate bowing habit, which, when introduced and practiced gradually, will lead to easy and certain playing, and at the same time will bring freedom and joy of performing other repertoire pieces that are available at a given stage of musical education. Developing proper articulation and dynamics guides the student into extremely important aspects of phrasing. Consequent studies propose bold „strolling” on the strings, freeing the world of flageolets and playing in higher positions at comfortable fingering. There are also fragments with a tenor clef, and even the first doubles. Moreover, the author included fingering suggestions.
