Excerpt from Violoncello Method, Vol. 1 of 2: Revised and Amplified Much of the unnecessary material has been omitted and replaced by suitable 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.
