The pieces can be flexibly combined in trio settings and duets, which makes the book ideal for ensemble and individual instruction. The enclosed CD sets new standards. It contains not only audio recordings of all pieces which can also be used as play-alongs, but also video sequences illustrating special techniques. There are also individual performing scores which allow the string player to react to varying circumstances in actual practice, as with the Flexible Strings (KM 2292). Nicht nur Rhythmus, auch Groove ist lernbar, und so groovt es machtig in der Breitkopf PADAGOGIK. (MusikHandel) Dieses Werk macht Mut Neues auszuprobieren und stellt eine grosse Bereicherung fur den Instrumentalunterricht fur StreicherInnen dar. (Bianka Wustehube, Uben & Musizieren)
