The Secret of Cello Technique

Lionel Handy was introduced to Albert Sammons's classic work The Secret of Technique in Violin Playing by Hugh Bean. He was fortunate to play chamber music with Hugh for many years and he maintained that his ability to keep his technical level was largely due to Sammons teaching in general and this book in particular. Hugh was a pupil of Sammons for more than twenty years and believed that this concise work was of great benefit to students and also professional players with limited practice time.
