I hope you find this useful, which tutorial should I do next? Give me some ideas 😊!

[@sergeyfateyev1402]

Pablo Ferrández can you make a video about control hand with bow, e.g. staccato, legato, bow change (up, down), like in Piatti caprice 1 and something in sort of this

there is so much clarity in this presentation and delivery - a big thank you from a student making a big jump from viola to cello over the past year! super sharp teaching points 😊

[@miloslavavoicehovna3551]

Wow, all of it is incredibly useful! Especially how to hide shifts, because I really have never been thinking about It. Thank you so much, Pablo!

[@iAmKristix]

have you noticed, at 11:58 he was shifting C to F and the obertones of C kept ringing. wow thats literally playing two notes on one string :D

[@johannanorico]

I had tried some of the tips though I haven't given much thought of it. Your tutorial gives me a more broad knowledge in terms of shifting. Thank you so much for this, it means a lot to me. It inspire me to think and experiment more when practicing. More videos please! Can't wait to try it out myself.

[@cellosong]

Thank you for your generosity. You share important differences in shifting techniques and their unique musical impacts. I love your analogies - fine teachers use analogies. Your willingness to pass these tips along to others is much appreciated!

[@allisonchoi9833]

Thank you for sharing your life and knowledge as a soloist through this channel. You classic guys' incredible skills always make me think what kind of people you are and feel a little far in some ways. But your candor melts everything that I thought out. Hope to see you and listen to your music in person someday!

Thank you Pablo! So great advices

[@SandieCanes]

Amazing instruction and your sound/tone has won me over....I want to hear more of your performances so I will be looking for recordings!

[@christylenhardt7622]

I found this at the perfect time! I’m working on the Elgar concerto and my current focus is cleaning up my shifts to make the melody line clear and lyrical. My goal is to keep the romantic style without any “swoops” due to poor shifting. Thank you as always Pablo!! Xxx

Pablo, thank you so much for the tips. I learned so much from you.

[@sasssssa6565]

Thank youuu!!❤️Useful, it allows me to inderstand what I m doing because I did a lot of this different shift, but without always notice it and paying attention. And the last tips is intresting because I often shift with te same or the first finger

[@jonathankim4610]

These tutorials are always so helpful for my practice. Thanks Pablo!!

[@igortarcisiofuentespatino6189]

Gracias por los consejos desde Ciudad de México. Es muy amable de su parte. Yo apenas comienzo, y me había dado cuenta de ello, de hecho la cabeza se me embrolla al asomarme tanto al diapasón como al trabajo de mano izquierda y, efectivamente las combinaciones son muchísimas, por lo cual, como trabajo esencial las manos, especialmente la izquierda debe de fortalecerse físicamente, para estar preparada para cualquier cambio que se presente.

[@mrfire4786]

very helpful and always interesting to learn form the very best people thankyou Pablo Ferrandez see you in Paris on 23.3 again 😃

[@Robyn19fnq]

Thank you for your insight. Muscle memory is more difficult on strings due to the different finger distances in different positions. It means many hours practice in first position, then second .... etc. Then it might be possible to shift so accurately into higher positions. Your methods are very helpful.

[@pdxxx97266]

Excellent analysis! 👍 Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@jorisArt]

Thank you so much Pablo! Very informative!

[@jbinroom2038]

[@rafaelhoekman4712]

Hi Pablo, great video! In Han Jensen's book Cellomind shifts are explained even further. The first shift you describe is called smiley face (: under the fingerboard you call it. He calls the other type rainbow arch. An up and down motion. He also advocates combining the two for very large shifts. He also points out the different combos of fingers, bow changes, etc. It's very helpful. Interestingly, I had heard from Starker that it's always better to shift from a higher finger to a lower one or use the same finger. I think it's to do with having balance in the hand. I think your explanation is great. Consecutive fingers! Interesting to avoid the same finger. I will try your ideas. Thanks so much! I hold the bow the way you do now, and will never change back! Also, that Shostakovich fingering from your talking cello video with Kian is amazing! An idea for a video would be tips for difficult bow strokes. Different off the string strokes? Bravo to you!

[@sgarcia_cello]

Me ha servido muchooo!!

[@BassoIuga]

Congrats and thanks for sharing your knowledge ! I’m a bass player and I did learn the basic shifting named :”alla Heifez” ( old finger on the old bow) - and “Alla Kreisler “. (New finger on the new bow). There is some combination of this two : old finger - new bow , new finger -old bow. Also, start with old finger and in the middle continue with the new finger - on old bow , eventually on the new bow and so on. So, there is a truly art of shifting! String player should care more about.

Wow I never thought about how my elbow moves when I shift, I will experiment with that My shifting technique is mostly just yeeting through mid-air and landing on 1 finger sometimes lol And the last tip about not shifting onto the same finger is helpful!!

A shifting technique not mentioned is finger replacement. So, same note different finger. I use this to prepare for more favorable incoming fingerings.

This video was super helpful for me 👍👍👌👌 (especially Elmerson's tip of shifting with one finger and landing with another finger). This is a tip my teacher taught me: when I need to do the mixed shift (third method) I learn the shift of the sliding finger and the I land the wanted finger more accurately...😅

This video is just wonderful!! Thanks for sharing this deep and small details that make a difference! I just wondered how it works when you have to shift backwards! Do you apply the same logic or do you somehow "revert" it? I'm for instance thinking of elbow movements, shifting with "following" or "presiou" finder, and such... Thank you a lot again!

It would be helpful to also demonstrate descending in addition to ascending shifts. Opening the elbow ascending is a different feeling than closing the elbow when descending.
