The study of double-stop octaves on the cello, for advanced cellists, continues in Octaves for the Cello, Book Five. Exercises and short pieces teach basic scale patterns using the notes learned in Octaves for the Cello, Books One, Two, Three, and Four. Teachers can use this book to train their students in advanced double-stop playing on the cello before they are required to play octaves in solo literature, or as a technique supplement for students already playing octaves in cello literature. Professional-level cellists can use this book to refine and update their skills. This book can be followed by Octave Scale Studies for the Cello, Book One.
