“…Mažiau įsišaknijusi klasikinės muzikos tradicija lemia daugiau inovacijų traktuojant instrumento galimybes. Ypač išsiskiria Berklio muzikos koledžas, kuris šiuo metu lyderiauja, suburdamas ir rengdamas įvairių muzikos stilių violončelininkus ir publikuodamas daug naujos metodinės literatūros 4 M. Blocko teigimu, pastarųjų metų nauja muzikinė aplinka skatina violončelininkus peržvelgti jų santykį su instrumentu ir plėtoti technnikas, kurių nebuvo mokomi mokykloje (Block 2017: v). Tarp siūlomų išmokti naujų įgūdžių yra įvairios pizzicato rūšys, improvizacija skirtingose dermėse, kirčio (chopping) technika, poliritmų įvaldymas, keltiško stiliaus melodiniai ornamentai, įvairūs strykavimo niuansai, dviejų strykų naudojimas, afro-lotynų, fanko, džiazo stilių elementai, akordų grojimas, perkusiniai efektai ir kt.…”

In the twentieth century, increasing focus on the parameter of the musical timbre led to numerous experiments with sound producing techniques on different instruments. A need for a generalising concept to describe such a phenomenon started to arise. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, the term of extended techniques was established. It is used widely today despite the fact that there is no fixed definition of what techniques or approaches it includes. Instead, we see interpretational differences by various authors. We can notice different insights in research done by performers and composers. Non-academic music performers introduce their own unique approaches as well. There are differences in the vocabulary, and the distinction between academic and non-academic musical training is emphasised. Looking at the latest methodological literature, we can assume that intensive experimentation with sound producing methods is taking place in the non-academic field and a new approach to the cello is being established in various musical styles. We also notice that this process is taking place more widely in the US than in Europe where the tradition of classical music is firmly established. The article raises the question of what exactly should be classified as extended techniques and whether the new twenty-first-century multistylistic techniques can be perceived as the next step. It is concluded that different terminology, individual approaches of researchers, and differences in training between academic and non-academic music performers hinder a unified generalisation. The author suggests that the amplitude of the instrument’s possibilities is still expanding, and recently the initiative has been taken over by performers who explore different musical styles.

“…Knut Guettler and Håkon Thelin's contribution to the physical understanding of multiphonics and Caspar Johannes's mathematical concretisation constitute important building blocks in our understanding. 10 Fingering charts for piano 11 , cello 12 and guitar 13 began the process of standardisation and, although some of this research has been independent, these charts fit together pleasingly well. This special issue is an attempt to prove the coherence of string multiphonics, show the current state of the art, and forge a joint path forward.…”
