Beethoven's middle-period quartets, Opp. 59, 74 and 95, are pieces
that engage deeply with the aesthetic ideas of their time. In the
first full contextual study of these works, Nancy November
celebrates their uniqueness, exploring their reception history and
early performance. In detailed analyses, she explores ways in which
the quartets have both reflected and shaped the very idea of
chamber music and offers a new historical understanding of the
works' physical, visual, social and ideological aspects. In the
process, November provides a fresh critique of three key paradigms
in current Beethoven studies: the focus on his late period; the
emphasis on 'heroic' style in discussions of the middle period; and
the idea of string quartets as 'pure', 'autonomous' artworks, cut
off from social moorings. Importantly, this study shows that the
quartets encompass a new lyric and theatrical impetus, which is an
essential part of their unique, explorative character.

In his book on left-hand violin technique, Maestro Ruggiero
Ricci addresses common problems in shifting by advocating the study
of the glissando technique. He asserts that re-incorporating this
technique will not only aid violinists in developing a
better-trained ear, but also provide them with "shortcuts" to
playing some of Paganini's most difficult passages.
Ricci introduces and compares old and new systems of playing to
provide a context for the glissando system. He outlines a series of
glissando scales that provides the student with a blueprint for
developing additional glissando scales in other keys. He offers
exercises designed to increase flexibility, ear training,
coordination, and crawling technique and has included a DVD in
which he demonstrates various bowing techniques.
The Belwin String Builder is a string class method in which the
violin, viola, cello, and bass play together throughout. Each book,
however, is a complete unit and may be used separately for class or
individual instruction. The material in this book is realistically
graded so that only a minimum of explanatory material is required.
Each melody is interesting and will provide the basis for a fine
left hand technic and bow arm. Available in three levels for
violin, viola, cello, bass, piano accompaniment, and teacher's
manual.
