Features: This is a classic, authoritative, practical, and effective viola teaching material. Among the 41 etudes, Campanoli covers almost all important technical topics for the viola, including bow distribution, shifting strings, shifting positions, intonation, fingerings, bowing variations, light and complex bowing exercises, flexible bowing, spiccato, staccato, rapid left-hand position shifts, thirds, sixths, and various double stops, scales, arpeggios, trills, vibrato, and more. Particularly commendable is the inclusion of many highly musical fugues, variations, and adagios in this collection of etudes, which help students develop accurate and sensitive musicality. These pieces provide significant assistance in phrasing, tempo, tone quality, and color.
