Left Hand Rotation on the Cello | Professor Jamie Fiste
"Hand rotation" is a left-hand and arm technique on the cello that utilizes a rotating action in the forearm and hand as a means to lift the fingers from the string and place them down as opposed to relying solely on the flexor and extensor muscles of the forearm. It essentially transfers work from the forearm muscles to other muscles of the arm, dividing the workload. I've seen this technique clear up tendonitis in the forearm.

I play this way. I was also influenced by Starker. The on,y problem was that he smoked way too much.

Haha Yes, I've heard he smoked a lot. I learned hand rotation from my teacher, who was a Starker student. I have also been influenced by Gerhard Mantel's book "Cello Technique".Thanks for watching!
