Preface Vorwort Preface
While none of the Dotzauer
methods has proved serviceable for
modern requirements in their original
versions, the excellence of the material
contained therein has induced me to
select and edit that which has re-
mained of the greatest serviceability
for present-day needs and combine it
in the present method.
Much of the unnecessary material
has been omitted and replaced bysuitable selections from the works
of B. Romberg, J. L. Duport and
J. B. Gross and the whole has been
systematized and arranged in such
progressive order as to insure the
speediest and most satisfactory ad-
vancement of the student.
From the very start, the pupil's
attention must be called incessantly
to the importance of gaining surety in
the playing of major and minor
thirds, the entire technic of the 'cello
being based in a measure upon the
differences of these intervals.
The purpose of this method is to
provide a complete and thorough
course of instruction based upon the
fundamental principles of 'cello play-
ing and with the aid of the necessary
talent and application, the material
offered cannot fail but enable the
student to arrive at and master manyof the higher accomplishments of his
art.
Keine der Dotzauer'schen Schulen
schien nach dem heutigen Stande des
Violoncell-Unterrichtes zu uuveran-
dertem Wiederabdruck geeignet, aber
die Giite und Verwendbarkeit des in
ihnen enthaltenen Lehrstoffes veran-
lasste mich, denselben in vorliegen-
der Schule von neuem moglichst nutz-
bringend anzuordnen und zu gestalten.
Zur Ausfiillung der vorhandenen
Liicken wurden teilweise altere, oft
bewahrte Beispiele von B. Romberg,
J. L. Duport und J. B. Gross gewahlt
und fiir das Ganze eine systematisch
fortschreitende und iibersichtliche An-
ordnung erstrebt, die allein demSchiiler ein sicheres und schnelles
Vorwartsschreiten ermoglicht. Der
Lehrer versaume nicht, den Schiiler
im miihelosen Erkennen der grossen
und kleinen Terzen zu iiben, denn auf
dem Unterschiede dieser beiden Inter-
vals beruht die Violoncell-Technik
zumeist.
Zweck der Schule moge sein, demangehendenVioloncellisteneinesichere
und manierenfreie Grundlage zu bie-
ten, von der ausgehend es ihm bei
Talent und dem notigen Fleisse ge-
lingen kann auch hohere Staffeln in
der Kunst des Violoncell-Spiels zu
erreichen.
Aucune des diverses Methodes de
Violoncelle de Dotzauer ne semblait
pouvoir supporter l'epreuve de la re-
edition, etant donne le niveau eleve
qu'atteint aujourd'hui l'etude de cet
instrument. Et cependant l'excellence
pratique des exercices qu'elle contient
m'a determine a la remettre au jour,
en l'utilisant de la facon la plus pro-
fitable a l'eleve. J'ai comble les la-
cunes qu'elle presentait par des ex-
emples choisis de B. Romberg, J. L.
Duport et J. B. Gross, et je me suis
efforce de grouper ces differents ele-
ments dans un ordre systematique
et progressif, de facon a former un
ensemble qui fasse faire a l'eleve des
progres rapides et siirs. Le pro-
fesseur devra de bonne heure exercer
l'eleve a distinguer les tierces ma-
jeures et mineures, car la technique
du Violoncelle repose en bonne partie
sur la difference entre ces deux inter-
valles.
Le but de cette methode est done
d'offrir aux commencants une base
d'etudes, nouvelle dans sa forme et
eprouvee dans ses elements, qui, le
travail aidant, les conduira rapide-
ment a la virtuosite.

The Violoncello,
which was developed from the formerBass -Viol, was first constructed in the
17th century, and is the instrumentwhich most resembles the human voice,
both in quality and expression.
The holdixig of the instrument.
The pupil must sit on the border of
the chair, advance the left foot a lit-
tle and draw back the right one; the
Violoncello is held by means of the
legs, that is, in such a manner that
the lower edge of the back of the in-
strument touches the left leg, and the
upper edge of the back must lean ea-
sily against the body of the player.
When using the tail-pin of the in-
strument, it is necessary to have it
so long, that the lowest peg reaches
the left ear at about two or three in-
ches distance, so as not to run the
risk of striking the left knee withthe bow while bowing upon the Astring. (Fig. I)
The guiding of the bow.
The bow is to be held by the right
hand, in such a manner that the tip
of the thumb is placed sideways a-
gainst the corner of the nut; the fore-
finger must be placed in such a man-ner as to press the stick with the
upperjoint; the tip of the middle fin-
ger must touch the hair andtheother
fingers take an easy and natural po-
sition adjoining the nut. For thedownbow, that is, starting from the nut of
the bow, the wrist of the right handis to be held a little upwards, the el-
bows and the point of the bow mustbe lowered and the bow must be drawnacross the strings at about three inch-
es from the bridge,whilst the wrist is
gradually descending. For the up-bow,
that is, starting from the point, the
wrist must be raised gradually, so that,
the bow crosses the strings in a
straight line. The hair of the bow in
passing over the A, D & G string, is
to lean sideways towards the bridge,
but on the C string the bow is to beheld in such a manner that the full
breadth of the hair lies flatly on the
strings. (Fig.IVa and iyb.)
The tuning of the Violoncello.
This instrument is tuned in fifths:
d g c
ma
in beginning to learn it, it is advisa-ble to tune to the Piano or some oth-
er well-tuned instrument by givingthe above mentioned notes;when turn-
ing the pegs, one ought to press themas far into the peg-box as possible,as they are apt to slip. (Fig. IIa & lib.)

Das Violoncell,
cine Umgestaltung der friiherenGanirba,ist im Anfange des 17. Jahrhun-derts aufgekommen. JEs ist dasjeni-ge Instrument, welches der mensch-lichen Stimme am nachsten ver-wandt und des hochsten Ausdruck-es fahig ist.
Haltung des Instrumentes.
DerSpieler setze sich auf den vorde-
ren Teil desStuhles, strecke den lin-kenFuss ein wenig aus und setzeden rechten Fuss weiter zuriick.DasInstrument wird mit denBeinen sogehalten,dass der untereRand desBodens an das linke und der untereRand des Deckels an das rechteBeinzu liegen kommt;der obereRand desBodens lehnt sich ganz leicht an denKorper. Wendet ?nan einenStift (Sta-chel) an, so wahle ?nan diesensohoch,dass der unterste Wirbel in gleicherLinie, etwa ein paar cm.votnlinkenOhr entfernt ist und?nan nicht bei?n
Anstreichen derA-Saite Gefahrlduft,an das linke Knie zu stossen. (Fig.I)
Von der Fiihrung des Bogens.DerBogen wird mit der rechten
Hand so gefasst, dass dieDaumenspi-tze ein wenig seitwarts an dieSpitzedesFrosches zu liegen kotnmf,derZeirgefinger so weit vorruckt,dass ermitderBiegung seines oberstenGelenkesaiffdieBogenstange,derMittelfingermit derSpitze an dieHaare und diezwei ubrigenFinger ungezwungenan denFrosch und dieStange zu lie-
gen kommen.DerBogen wirdaufderA,D undG-Saite so zumStrich ange-setzt, dass dieHaarflache demSiegezugekehrt erscheint; die C-Saite je-doch ?nuss mit der ganzen Haarfla-che angestrichen werden. Beim Her-unterstrich (d.h. vom Frosche zu rSpitze gezogen) biege man das rech-teHandgelenk ein wenig, senke denEllbogen and auch die Spitze des Bo-gens ein wenig, fiihre den Bogen et-
wa 3 cm. vom Stege entfernt iiber
dieSaiten und lasse dasHandgelenklangsam einsinken. I?n Hinaufstrich(d.h. von derSpitze zum Frosche ge-zogen) hebe man das Handgelenknach und nach, damit derBogen dieSaite immer gerade durchschneidet.
Von derStimmung desVioloncells.Das Instrument wird in Quin ten

Le Violoncelle,
qui est une transformation delacide-vant Gambe, fut construit au n^siec-le; c'est T instrument qui ressemble le
plus a la voix humaine et qui pos-sede les qualites necessaires pourexprimer le mieux les differencesdispositions de Tame en touchant le
coeur par des sons doux et melodieux.
Position du corps pourtenir Pinstrument.
II faut que l'eleve soit assis sur le
bord de la chaise, qu'il etende un peule pied gauche et qu'il retire le pieddroit. LI instrument doit etre place en-
tre les jambes,de maniere que le bordinferieur du fond touche la jambegauche, le bord inferieur de la tablela jambe droite. Le bord superieur dufond doit toucher legerementle corps.
Quand on se sert du ferret (goupille),
il faut qu'il soit d'une longuer, afinque la cheville la plus basse soit ala hauteur et eloignee a peu pres de2 cm. de l'oreille gauche,pour eviter
de pousser contre le genou gaucheen touchant la corde de LA. (Fig.I)
Maniere de tenir l'archet.
On tient l'archet par la main droite
afin que le bout du pouce s'inclineun
peu du cote vers le coin delahausse,l'index doit s'avancer de maniere quela jointure de dessus se place sur la
baguette et que le bout du doigt dumilieu touche les crins de l'archet, les
deux autres doigts doivent se mettreen meme temps legerement sur la
hausse et la baguette.En tirant l'arch-
et, c'est a dire,commencant au talon,
il faut qu'on tienne le poignetun peueleve, le coude abaisse ainsi que la
pointe de l'archet, qu'on meme a tra-
vers les cordes, eloigne a peu pres de
3 cm. du chevalet en observant que le
poignet s'incline peu a peu. En pous-
sant l'archet, c'est a dire,commencanta la pointe, il faut relever le poignetpeu a peu,pour que l'archet, en pas-
sant sur les cordes, soit en rectangleavec ces dernieres.Les crins de larch
et doivent s'incliner vers le chevalet
sur la corde de LA, RE etSOL,maissur la corde de TUT la tenue de l'-
archet doit etre telle que les crins
se trouvent justement au dessus dela baguette. (Fig. IV* & rvb.)
De l'accord du Violoncelle.
On accorde le Violoncelle en Quintes:*rt re sol ut-o3 «-
Au commencement on fera mieux d-
accorder d'apres le Piano ou de quel-
que autre instrument en touchant les
notes ci-devant nominees. En tourn-
ant les chevilles,pressez la maincontre la tete de Pinstrument pour $-
viter que les chevilles ne glissent en
arriere.(Fig.II a &IIb.)
