First English-Language Edition, First Printing. Bloomington and London: Indiana University Press, 1975. Hardcover. xviii, 232 pp. Original blue cloth, gilt-lettered spine, in the original dust jacket. NF book in G DJ. Translated from the German by Barbara Haimberger Thiem. Foreword by János Starker. ISBN 9780253313270 / 0253313279. Illustrated with 97 in-text figures. A significant analytical study of cello playing by German cellist, teacher, and writer Gerhard Mantel. Rather than a conventional method or exercise book, Cello Technique examines the physics and physiology of performance, including learning processes, body movement, sound production, position changes, vibrato, left- and right-hand coordination, pressure on the strings, and bowing technique. It remains a useful advanced reference for cellists, string teachers, pedagogy students, and readers interested in musicians’ health and instrumental biomechanics. Condition: Near Fine in a Good dust jacket. Clean, complete pages with a tight, square binding. A prior owner’s name, “Anita Woods,” is written on the front free endpaper. The original dust jacket is present and shows significant rubbing, with small tears along the edges. Please review all photographs for the exact 1975 first-English-edition copy, owner name, dust jacket, and complete condition details.…

Store description
I unearth paper treasures for your reading pleasure. I started selling books when my father left me his vintage paperback collection, almost 25 years ago. I grade condition conservatively and do my best to convey all flaws, and to respond quickly to questions. When issues arise, I do my best to come up with solutions that keep both parties happy. When I'm not panning for gold in thrift stores and estate sales, I'm listening to records, hanging out with my family, or playing tabletop games.
