Adapting Fingering and Bowing Permutations for Practicing

If At First You Don’t Succeed recently posted about a comment from bass blog contributor Benjy detailing his experiences studying the Rabbath technique.  There is a lot similarity between Rabbath’s scale and arpeggio practice methodology and that of Ivan Galamian, and this post details a cellist’s perspective on this sort of practicing.  It’s always interesting for bass players to observe how other string players tackle technical practice.

You can always hear interviews and performances from Rabbath himself on his Contrabass Conversations page.
