Thank you. I'm a cellist who picked up an instrument (again) at age 59. I've been at it for four years. I find I do not have the dexterity I had as a child, so it's more difficult for me to create a truly smooth sound. Although I read music well, I joke with my fellow cellists that it's not sight reading but sight playing that's the problem. It's all about better mechanics for me. I appreciate your pedagogy.
I picked up the cello at age 59 as well I played the violin for 20 years then had a family an now I have time to dedicate to my cello. I agree with you where we don't have the dexterity as we did as a child I realized that right from the start lol Good luck an keep practicing because Practice makes Permanant!!!

Thank you enormously maestro. I am genuinely enormously grateful to you.
I feel so blessed that I was able to attend a masterclass
This is indeed a valuable instruction! Thanks for sharing! I have been to his concert tonite (Shostakovich), he is really gorgeous!
RIP Maestro...
Grazie Maestro.
thank You so much Maestro!
Perfect!
How is your bow arm so strong??? You get such a thick sound... Is it because everything is so relaxed?
Wery interesting!
@randytooth I would say almost as good as Piatigorsky...best currently alive, I would agree with you :)
