The German cellist Friedrich Grutzmacher (1832-1903), an influential teacher and composer, wrote two important works containing studies: "Tagliche Ubungen" (Daily Exercises) op. 67 and "Twenty-four Etudes" op. 38.

Grutzmacher was greatly admired during the 19th century for his brilliant playing technique and this forms the central part of his studies op. 38. To this day the twenty-four studies form an integral part of cellist's study repertoire and the development of a well-grounded cello technique.

As with Martin Rummel's editions of Popper's studies and the Duport Etudes, this Grutzmacher publication contains a booklet with valuable tips and references to other works in the cello repertoire requiring similar solutions to technical problems.
