“Twelve well-known composers have sought to build a bridge between the inexperience with contemporary instrumental techniques and the demands made by contemporary composers in their works.
I wish to thank the composers who have taken this task upon themselves and hope that their enthusiasm, their pedagogical experience and their profound knowledge of our instrument will make of this collection a valuable tool for the ongoing cellist. Some of these studies were written in view of preparing the cellist for the difficulties awaiting him in a larger work by the composer in question. However, I am of the opinion that these etudes transcend their original intent and take on a general significance and importance.”
