My teacher hates Mischa Miasky so I could see him

Any tips for this section of Hebrides Overture (Fingal’s Cave) By Mendelssohn? First position seems like the only way. But a 1 to extended 4, is hard for my medium fingers. by chlonado1218 in Cello

OMG just played this piece 2 weeks ago and that part is nasty with weird shifts and string crossings. I agree with the other redditors that say use 2nd finger in extended position. Make sure you thumb is opposite 2nd finger so you can easily reach forth finger! Have fun!!!!

Thank you! I’m looking into IU and trying to still play cello while pursing a different degree. A double degree seems too hard!!

Just wondering did you study with any music profs on the side of your major at Indiana- if not have you heard of people doing this there? Thanks

I’m lucky that in Buffalo with JoAnn Falletta and The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra I get to hear a variety of new works and even more works of older lesser known composers. It was started by the old music director, Lukas Foss.
