Max Dimoff Warm-Ups – New Post from CSO Bass Blog
Michael Hovnanian recently wrote a post on his CSO Bass Blog about Max Dimoff’s warm-up packet. He writes about one of the string crossing exercises (a Simandl Gradus ad Parnessum-style exercise) in particular from these warm-ups and shows it’s application in passages from the orchestral literature. Check out his post here.
These exercises are very interesting and worth checking out. They are mostly written in A major, and it is unclear from the packet whether they are to be transposed into other keys. If not you’ll probably get really, really good at playing in A major!

Max presented his warm-ups to us at a masterclass. He does them in every key. He does the same key for a month and then changes key each month following the circle of fifths. So if you are willing to commit at least a year to them, that’s twelve months for all twelve keys.
