Most other works that instruct cellists in the art of playing their instrument come in two predictable forms--emphasizing either the left hand or the right hand or instructing string players in the use of both but separately.

The New Zealand-born cellist and writer Miranda Wilson has performed on five continents and made several broadcast and compact disc recordings. She is a professor of cello at the University of Idaho.
