Download or read book Modern Violin Playing Classic Reprint written by Samuel B. Grimson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Violin-Playing Well, the strict and truthful answer to this query is that, first of all, nobody is born with a divine gift of violin-playing any more than he is born with a divine gift of walking, or of talking the language of his own parents. He has to learn all three. About once in a hundred thousand times it happens that a player hits on the correct mechanical procedure by accident, just as about once in a hundred thousand times an engineer might guess the tensions of his steel bridge correctly. The engineer can only repeat his success by the miracle of a second lucky guess. In that respect the violinist has the advantage over him. When once he has hit on the right method, he recognizes its value by its artistic results. He tests it; and finds that, with him, it always works. That gives him the one thing for which he is searching - personal security on his instrument. The physical why and wherefore of the matter never crosses his mind. But observe the vast difference between the two cases from the teacher's point of view! N 0 one, out of a lunatic asylum, would ap point the guessing engineer to a university chair of engineering. The violinist, on the other hand, though he is certain to have all the artist's distaste for definition and all the artist's confusion as between means and sensation, is immediately labelled genius. N ow, so long as he remains in the genius-business, there is not one word to be said against him. But as soon as that cap is stuck on his head, he becomes a potent money-drawing attraction as a teacher. And there the trouble begins. He collects a great many expensive pupils, who come to learn the mysteries of his art. In the class-room they all stand round him, open-mouthed with the words How is it done? And he has not the remotest idea of any satisfactory answer to these terribly searching words. He may Show them how, of course. He may play the actual passage under discussion. If it comes off the first time, all he can answer to their question is, Like that. If it doesn't come off the first or second time, he has to try again, blaming his bow or perhaps the weather for his earlier failures. And even if he plays the passage finally - nay, even if he plays it finally with the most perfect and con summate art - his pupils have learned nothing technically. After the exhibition, one can only say that he differs from them in that he can play the passage sometimes, and they can not.

Download or read book Handbook of Violin Playing Classic Reprint written by Carl Schroeder and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-21 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Violin Playing The invention of stringed instruments is certainly of great antiquity, but exact information with regard to the origin of the violin has not come down to us. Although stringed instruments were in use before Christian times, we know that these had nothing in common with the violin, or that at any rate the bow was not then known. It is therefore presumed that its invention and use in connection with stringed instruments occurred in the first century of the Christian era. Many are, notwithstanding, of the opinion that the use of the bow was known in pre-christian times, - ih India and in Persia. Pictures of Indian and Persian bowed instruments exist, but the period when they were employed is not exactly known. See Fig. (2 and b of page 2.

Download or read book Violin Playing Classic Reprint written by Fellow of King's College and Professor of Political Theory John Dunn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Violin Playing The rules and method, etc., set forth are simply the ordinary results of my own long experience as both teacher and public soloist, together with a keen selection of the best points peculiar to the most eminent violinists of our time. Each portion of the whole subject follows on in systematically arranged order according to the degree of difficulty, thus making reference to any particular point more easy. Without claiming to have founded any new system of technique, style or school, an honest attempt has been made to explain the most simple and natural method and means of obtaining such really correct technique as would form a sound preliminary towards attaining the highest degree of style and polish always noticeable in the very finest players. It is hoped that teachers also will find some useful hints to simplify their labours in the teaching of slow or difficult pupils, and should any struggling violinist by the perusal of this book be guided out of a fault or have his difficulties in any way lessened, the writer will be more than compensated for his small endeavours.

Download or read book Violin Playing as I Teach It Classic Reprint written by Leopold Auer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violin Playing As I Teach It is a book written by renowned Hungarian violinist Leopold Auer. Auer was a well-known violinist but even more sought after as a music teacher. He counted several of the world's great violinists as his pupils and this volume sees the author outlining his teaching methods to students and fellow instructors. As a teacher, Auer was known as an individual who emphasized a conceptual understanding of music over technical mastery. Violin Playing As I Teach It demonstrates the author's pedagogical preferences, however does not in any way ignore the technical components of playing the violin. Following a brief introductory section, the book presents chapters on how to properly hold the violin, tone production, and a detailed section of hints on bowing. Further technical instruction covers topics such as left hand techniques, double-stops, harmonics, and more. The book concludes with several chapters discussing more conceptual subjects, such as nuance and style in playing, and how to calm the nerves when performing. Violin Playing As I Teach It provides readers with the rare opportunity to receive instruction from one of the most coveted violin teachers of all time. The book is written in a casual style, emphasizing content over style. Auer presents his methods in an easy to follow style that is within grasp of both beginning students and experienced teachers. As an instructional guide to playing the violin, Leopold Auer's work is a grand success. There are few individuals with the combination of technical prowess and refined experience that the author enjoys, and readers should consider themselves fortunate to have the opportunity to read his work. This text is an accomplishment and is highly recommended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secrets of Violin Playing: Being Full Instructions and Hints to Violin Players, for the Perfect Mastery of the Instrument The extensive field over which my little works appear to have travelled has called forth a very great amount of correspondence, always eulogistic, but generally containing also many practical questions on points not fully explained in the books. On many of these points there must always be some difference of opinion, but so far as it is in my power I shall endeavour to make them clear in these pages in a manner so impartial that the reader may to a great extent rely upon his own judgment in the adoption or rejection of the hints. Many of them need not be placed before a beginner at all, inasmuch as so many minute details are apt to scare a young player. It is therefore to violin players more than beginners that I now address myself, and more especially the earnest student.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Violins: And Violin LoreWhat is the secret of the violin? Why is it that when a great violinist appears all the other soloists have to take a back seat?The answer is: the fascination of the violin is the fascination of the soul unveiled.No instrument - the human voice hardly excepted - provides such a rare vehicle for the emotions - is in such close touch with the molecular vibrations of thought and with the psychic waves of feeling. But whilst the violin equals the voice in sensibility and expression, it far transcends it in compass, variety, and durability.Consider the singular completeness and perfection of this instrument as a sort of physical and vibratory counterpart of the soul. The four strings no doubt limit and define its compass, and only in the quartet and collectively, is it capable of extended effects of complex harmony; but as a tone-producing instrument and within its limits it is perfect - every gradation of sound between tone and semitone is attainable, and for no other instrument can this be claimed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
