In the preface to this work, Ivan Galamian and Frederick Neumann state, "Since technical mastery depends more on control of mind over muscle than upon mere agility of fingers, the direct way to such mastery lies through working procedures which present a constant challenge to the student’s thinking processes. This Technique aims to address all the challenges normally faced by advancing students of the cello and then systematically work them until they are no longer problematic." Volume 2 of this work includes double and multiple stops in scale and arpeggio exercises. By Ivan Galamian, edited and arranged for Cello by Hans Jorgen Jensen. Published by E.C. Shirmer.
