Carl Fischer170 Foundation Studies Book 1
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Book 1 of a 170-study cello technique set. For students working fundamentals in lesson order with a teacher, not for performance repertoire.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Cello students building bow control and left-hand fundamentals
- Teachers assigning graded study material week to week
- Returning players rebuilding technique before going back to repertoire
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting pieces to perform — these are studies
- Absolute beginners who need a step-by-step method first
- Any instrument other than cello
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
170 studies
Enough material for a long stretch of lessons. You work a few at a time, not front to back.
Detail 03

No accompanist to coordinate. It works in a practice room by yourself.
Detail 04
In print
Currently printed, so replacing a worn copy or matching copies for a studio class is easy.

Pencil in bowings and fingerings as your teacher gives them, and they stay on the page.
