Description:
Friedrich Dotzauer (1783–1860) learned several instruments in his childhood, but decided on the cello as his main instrument, since "the violoncello alone allowed the unforgettable soulful alto voice of his dear mother to resonate" (Art. "Dotzauer", Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, 1877). Between 1829 and 1850 – his retirement as a court musician in Dresden – he composed and published an extensive oeuvre of etudes for the cello. For the second of three volumes, the British cellist and musicologist George Kennaway compiled thirty moderately difficult etudes by Dotzauer – from the well-known "24 Capricci" op. 35, the "12 Exercices" op. 70 as well as the collections op. 47, 54, 90, 116, 120, 148, 155 and 158. In contrast to the first volume (BA12101), this selection also uses tenor and treble clefs, string transitions, double stops, the position of the thumb and other advanced playing techniques.
