Proceeding from the basis of simple chromatically inflected tunes mastered in Book 1 An Introduction to Sight-Singing Book 2 extends the student's technique to encompass the performance of extensive modulating melodies. There is further work on minor keys and chromatic notes and stress is laid on the value of learning to sing by interval as well as by sense of key in order to pitch notes in passages of rapid and frequently changing tonality. Copiously furnished with examples and exercises the book concludes with 50 sight-singing studies containing chromaticism and more extreme modulation representing the most challenging standard of sight-singing techniquerequired in the course of everyday practical musicianship.

An extremely popular tutor Piatti takes the student through the early stages of playing technique - such as the open strings first position and bowings - up to exercises in the fifth sixth and seventh positions (in the Tenor Clef). Arpeggios and scales are also included throughout to train the hands fingers and wrists in order for the right technique to become ingrained. Whenever a new concept or technique is introduced Piatti provides a detailed explanation of it sothat no prior Cello experience is required. However a basic knowledge of music theory is assumed the student is expected to be familiar with the notes of the bass clef note lengths key and time signatures etc.

The third part of a comprehensive and renowned Cello method by nineteenth century composer educator and musican Alfredo Piatti. Book Three of this in-depth classic method contains further ornamentation double stops staccato harmonics and more.

This 96-page book has been prompted by the many people who have come to the author with the common wail I can play the piano - a bit of Mozart and even an easy Chopin waltz - but I can't harmonise anything by ear when my friends ask me or even when I'm alone . But anyone can - YOU CAN. This practical guide to improvisation is aimed at all those who have a beginner's knowledge of the keyboard and who want some fun from it.
