These lessons are PURE GOLD! It's extremely generous of Paul Katz to post them for musicians around the world. THANK YOU!

[@CelloBello]

Thanks for your support John!

Even though I am 8 months in learning the cello, this was helpful.

[@adultcellobeginner7513]

I feel like I were participating in some masterclass here... It makes me being aware of the quality (or more lack of high quality) of my sound. So much to work on!

[@annabellej.8047]

I really like her approach on using the vibrato. First the Sound, second the vibrato.

[@CorrieDanner]

That’s the only way I can do it. Sound first vibrato second

[@shirist8380]

Excellent explanation of the approaching of the expressions of vibrato in thinking and playing. I am wondering about whether cellobello could do a whole series with this exceptional cellist or persuade her to writing a theoretical (and practical book) about technique, interpretation, intellectual and mental skills etc.

Thanks for this great lesson

[@CelloBello]

Glad you liked it Helena!

[@snootzie78]

I broke both of my wrists a couple of years ago and now getting back to playing the cello. I still have a slow vibrato sometimes but getting better.

[@CelloBello]

It is so good to hear that you are playing the cello again. Keep up the good work Amy!

[@bogenbogen5103]

Thank you for video!

[@CelloBello]

Welcome Bogen Bogen!

[@frluisx]

Muchas gracias!

[@CelloBello]

De nada Luis Alfredo, gracias por ver el video!

[@christinenewland386]

I agree Marcy...Like the old lady in the church choir with that slow wide vibrato you just can't miss, but wish you could. :) If I start hearing that, I'll quit as well! lol

Как сделать перевод на русский язык?

[@GuimersHeavyLifts]

which strings is she using ?

[@richard_4675]

Jarger A and D Spiracore tungsten C and G

[@zanaaziz2788]

Who is Shaandaar Vague ? I think that the subtitle is not accurate enough

[@tobiasirikura516]

Sandor Vegh. He was the first violinist of the Vegh quartet, which was one of the finer quartets of the time.

[@MiltRodgers]

Flat wrist. This concept is beaten to death. There are a number of ways to play the fingerboard with the wrong technique and maintain a flat wrist. So what

[@MrAkifusion]

Pretty low level.
