An inspiration and thoroughly explained technique for all to understand. Thank you.

Thank you for making this available. It can seem basic for some but Navarra’s genius technique was the foundation of generations and generations of cellists.

Thank you ❤

Gratitud

Such an amazing teacher ! Thank you for posting

Very helpful, can you do more videos about Common Problems? You have great tips! 🙏

Thank you very much, very good tips!

superlative and in wonderful detail. Thank you

Thank you so much. I will use this tips with my students.

I have been trying this out and oh my! what a tone I was getting with these tips... really great! thanks for uploading this.

Great idea! I think this would help for harpists, too!

Ich war im engen Kontakt mit Maitre von 1972, bis 1987. Ich lernte bei ihm ordentlich mehr als 6 Jahre ( Paris, Siena, Skopje, Wien ). Maitre kam auf seine Ideen so ein video zu vorstellen in Wien. Zuerst versuchte er mit einem unseren Kolegen ( Robert aus Belgium ) zu verschaffen. Das klappte nicht. Nachdem hatte er das gemacht wie sie jetzt sehen. Auf meiner fb Seite schrieb ich etwas von Maitre. Einige Fakten seiner Biografie sind wircklich verwunderlich und einzigartig .

I am deeply appreciated for this content

Thank you! Please make more tutorials

what an incredible teacher, thank you for this videos .

23:44 finger exercises

literally just brought this issue up with my cello teacher yesterday. Its nice to find some suggestion out there

Thank you so much for translating the video into English subtitle. I've watched the German version with Google Translate several years ago, and now I found that I'd misunderstood many key points. Really appreciate your work, thank you!

These instructions on bow hold are not for me, his pinky finger is about twice as long as mine. And I've got the top of my thumb ripped off in a belt sander. Guess I have to find my own way with some duct tape 😝

thank you, this is such important legacy

❤❤❤

What is the name of this piece and composer please

I agree with the left hand articulation of the fingers. He demonstrate how not to do it, but does that with his 4th finger half of the time. Otherwise, this is wonderful information!!

Thanks for sharing this!

Было здОрово услышать все три открытых урока на русском языке.

What etude is he playing for the finger practice?

hi warrick

oh my oh my... what a treat... thank you for this

Andre Navarra was my teacher in bowing technique through this very video. His teaching is very detailed. From this video on my cello playing had evolved from "boring" to "hey, nice sounding". I thank Andre Navarra and especially his son to let this video go to the public.

Fantastische professor 👍

So patient a teaching style, the video has great value. SSSept17/2022

Un tres grand cellist

J’aimerais recommencer apprendre le violoncelle à partir de zéro après voir ces renseignements. Quel génie André

Totally wrong. Such a shame.

Magnifique

Awesome!

Very good. Which piece is it?

omg fourth finger torture lol... this is really a fight against nature, as the bone structure of his third finger is totally compromised. If HE can't keep that top D in tune with his forth finger A, I doubt anyone else could!

Fabulous 'dexterity' of his right hand, but the danger is that all this finger work reduces the organic way or transferring weight onto the string. Still, I guess for heavy duty articulations, it make a lot of sense. Note how extreme his wrist pronation is at the tip. - far from 'useless,' as he argues. Note also how both sets of fingers operate in a fairly similar fashion, at least in terms of handshape. The thumbs are so over-used by students, it is refreshing to see his looking loose and relaxed. One thing I don't quite get is how he suggests the fingers should never pull sideways when pealing off the string... yet demonstrates better clarity when he actually does it! Lifting without the slightest pull often means a late response of the string to its increased length. Exactly what he gets at 13' 17"! Otherwise all good haha

This is helpful!

Oh my! Many thanks for posting this.

Thank you, just what I needed

merci

So nice to see a version without the German dub. It’s such nice quality too.
