A new methodology for string players: lightness and brilliance. Few things are as difficult to achieve as lightness. This is experienced by musicians who want to maintain a conscious balance of tension and relaxation in their playing feel and presence on stage. Solo cellist and author Ulf Prelle aims to assist musicians in this endeavor. "The lightness we admire in great soloists is not an innate ability, but the result of many years of focused training," writes solo cellist Ulf Prelle in his new book. He analyzes movement patterns and develops exercises that help musicians discover their individually correct movements, which extend through muscle chains throughout the body. He also explores the interplay between right and left: "handedness," revealing previously overlooked but highly effective dependencies that he addresses constructively.
