5.0 out of 5 stars Encyclopedic but with loads of stuff to play., October 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Art of the Violin (Paperback)

As an adult beginner, "The Art" gives me everything I need to complement my lessons - answers to basic questions of theory and technique, progressive exercises, technical principles illustrated by hundreds of phrases from the masters. And scales, scales, scales. Especially nice are the complete two-part scales of Cherubini.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book,, April 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Art of the Violin (Paperback)

Not a lot of explanations but lots and lots of exercises I am a violin teacher and I sugest the book to all my students... but most things in the book still need explanations, Very good exercise book if nothing else. Fingering has changed from the time the book was originaly written, but still a very usefull book if you would like to use the fingering and style that players in Beethoven's time used. I sugest the book to all beginners and advanced players.
