The Violin and Its Technique - As a Means to the Interpretation of Music (Musician's Library) Achille Rivarde

"My object in writing this book is to encourage and help those students of the violin who are sufficiently intelligent to wish to advance with the times and who realise that in order to free violin playing from the rut of tradition in which it has complacently remained for so long, it is necessary to bring greater insistence to bear on the imaginative and poetical side of violin playing than has been done up to the present" Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include: The Bow Technique Vibrato Practice Interpretation, To What Extent it Can Be Taught
