Friedrich Dotzauer (1783–1860) learned to play several instruments as a child, but chose the cello as his primary instrument because "only the violoncello evoked the unforgettable, soulful alto voice of his dear mother" (Art. "Dotzauer," Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, 1877). Between 1829 and 1850—the year he retired as a court musician in Dresden—he composed and published an extensive body of work consisting of etudes for the cello. For the second of three volumes, the British cellist and musicologist George Kennaway compiled thirty moderately difficult études by Dotzauer—from the well-known "24 Capricci" Op. 35, the "12 Exercices" Op. 70, and the collections Op. 47, 54, 90, 116, 120, 148, 155, and 158. In contrast to the first volume (BA12101), this selection also features treble and bass clefs, string crossings, double stops, thumb positioning, and other advanced playing techniques.
