Technique takes off ! Fourteen intermediate studies by Mary Cohen for solo viola

Fourteen original, imaginative studies for solo viola, many specially written with the timbre and register of the instrument in mind, and designed to lead on from elementary studies for younger players to those of Mazas and kreutzer. Each piece concentrates on one or two aspects of technique, and the whole set covers a wide range of left and right hand skills, including spiccato bowing, string-crossing, moto perpetuo, cantabile playing and easy double-stopping. teachers and pupils will find this invaluable yet light-hearted collection both enjoyable and stimulating.
