It focuses mainly on the essential skills of violin playing, rather than on the peculiarities that all players adopt to suit their own requirements.

Bach's Works for Solo Violin - Style, Structure, Performance (Hardcover): Joel Lester Bach's Works for Solo Violin - Style, Structure, Performance (Hardcover)
Joel Lester
R2,330 Discovery Miles 23 300 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book combines a performance guide for violinists, an analytical study, an exploration of Bach's style, and an investigation of musical form and continuity. J.S. Bach's three sonatas and three partitas for solo violin have been mainstays of the violin concert repertoire since the mid-nineteenth century; their long performance history, evidenced in recordings as well as in editions, offers an opportunity to study the ways in which notions of Baroque style have evolved. Central to the book is the question what type of analysis is best applied to Bach's music: wherever possible, Lester draws his analytical tools from eighteenth-century techniques, developed for this repertoire.
