Thanks so much for all your lessons, Ilia. You have an amazing ability to understand the errors and demonstrate why they are errors. In my case, I was shifting too slow (on purpose to make it more 'musical', only it sounded hesitant - not musical) and my bowing was just like your bad example where I did not time the stroke and ran out of bow. I had the sense to find the correct books (Feuillard etc.) but was still playing wrong, and it will take a bit of time to fix.
Muchas gracias Leonardo! I like a lot the book by Wells Cunningham, of course there are a lot of books, but me personally I like ‘The Art Of Scales’ most! See you soon!
@@IliaLaporevcellist Its a pleasure. By the way! Dont forget "cello mind" by Hans Jorgen Jensen ;-) Ist a very practical ans amzing work for Intonation. Hasta pronto!
My respect to you and to all who tries to make cello technic more understandable. Concerning shifts there is a golden rule I have learned from my teacher Lev Evgrafov in Moscow Conservatory - the shifts should be done in that TEMPO in which you are playing. This rule can sound at first a bit abstract,but it is actually very applicable and useful. Just imagine you make a shift in Swan and in any fast passage like opening of the second movement of Prokofiev 's Concertante - it should be obviously very different speeds by making position changes. But I agree generally,that in scales it is better to do shifts a bit faster than the tempo is.
Thanks!! Your lessons are so helpful 🥰 I noticed my left fingers were weak….that’s why my position change wasn’t beautiful. I appreciate if you make lesson video for beginner like this. I can’t wait to watch your lesson again. Love From Japan🎼
Thank you! I definitely will make a video specifically for Beginners! Do you want me to make a video about scales for Beginners, or something else? Love from Brazil! 🎼
@@IliaLaporevcellist Thank you!! I’m struggling with bowling😭 For example, I can’t change from D string to A string. Sound is not beautiful. If you have time, please how to change bow between strings . One more thing, please teach me how to use right thumb. (Sorry my poor English. I hope you can get what I want to say💦) I learned a lot how to use left fingers from your lessons. I’ll practice! Love
This is fantastic to hear! I never would imagine that a little scale lesson could help even bass singers! By the way, my favourite one: bass! When I was a teenager, I used to sing in choir and always as bass. It rocks!
@@IliaLaporevcellist Tx Ilia! So cool to hear from you. Yes, our current music director said "I want you guys to sound like Cellos", so I'm studying cello theory and techniques. (We're working on R. Thompson's "Frostiana") There is a discipline to translate the technicalities from one instrument to the analogies of another (here, the diaphragm and the voice). "Equal bowing" -- proper and strong breath control. etc etc. I guess I could write a small treatise on the parallels.
Ещё один совет и Вам Илья! Техника игры гамм должна быть унифицирована в левой руке для быстрой смены позиций, особенно начиная с 7 позиции, и в этом случае унификация движения левой руки при смене позиций выше 7 решает проблему интонации, а это главная задача, скорость, звук и ИНТОНАЦИЯ! Если работать в этом направлении, где должно быть минимум лишних движений и максимум результат, то время для достижения безупречного исполнения гамм будет минимальным, а это есть главное во всём!

Great Video, love the part about even distribution and bow speed, so important.
Thank you so much! Oh, there are so many more things I could say. But who wants to see my face for hours? 🤣
@@IliaLaporevcellistplease make a video thats an hour long about rococ variations
My newest Mantra thanks to you "no lazy fingers for shifts" 🤓🤓🤓
He he he he he 😃😉
Always precious tips !!!👏🏿🙏🏿🌷📚🎶

Thank you! Hope it was helpful!
Good video lesson for cello scale!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you! Hope you found it useful!

Poderia fazer alguns videos em portugues ha muitas pessoas q precisam dessas dicas assim como eu.
Request--Would love to hear you go over some of the cello parts in Mahler 2, 1st mvmnt.
Thanks for your request! And a great one too! Do you have some specific parts in mind? Because it is a very long mouvement ;)
@@IliaLaporevcellist Oh yes, that is true, just the expositoion, theme one.
Also, how about the Lion from Carnival. That chromatic run. Thanks. Dylan
Gotcha! 👍🏻
Hi Ilia, do you still think that this the best book for scale playing?
Bonjour merci c est un super cours ,quelle sont vos cordes larsen soliste ou médium, spirocore wolfram?
Merci beaucoup! Les cordes que j’utilise sont: corde La et Re: Larsen Soloist (Medium), corde Sol et Do: Spirocore Wolfram!
I think speaking english with a foreign accident helps when trying to play cello.
Luckily, I have perfect pitch, it’s just my bowing sucks. Must be so hard for the master to demonstrate rookie mistakes.
