The name "mandolin" was used to refer to two quite different instruments: the gut-stringed mandolino, played with the fingers, and the later metal-stringed Neapolitan mandoline, which was played with a plectrum. This is the first book devoted exclusively to these two early instruments about which information in reference books is scant and often erroneous. The authors uncover their rich and varied musical history, examining contemporary playing techniques and revealing the full extent of the instruments' individual repertories, which include works by Vivaldi, Sammartini, Stamitz, and Beethoven. The book's ultimate aim is to help today's players to produce artistically satisfying performances through an understanding of the nature and historical playing style of these unjustly neglected instruments.

Drawing on her high level of technical proficiency, professional violinist Maureen Taranto-Pyatt shares practical guidance in her new methodology, "Progressive Form." With The New Art of Violin Playing, violinists will learn to appreciate the physics (weight and momentum) and geometry (angles and rotations) of movement with an accurate understanding of anatomy and physiology in order to facilitate a nuanced flow of compression and release. Featuring nearly 400 images and music examples to illustrate elements of technique, balance, and gesture, this accessible guide will help musicians manifest deeper meaning and greater satisfaction in making music. Taranto-Pyatt divides the material into three parts—Left Arm, Right Arm, and Integration—that can be used as a step-by-step retooling of technique or as a reference for targeted issues. A comprehensive exploration of method in service of musical expression, The New Art of Violin Playing offers the serious violinist a path toward a more integrated and liberated musical world through the combined use of balance concepts, guided movement, and creative images.

David Boyden's classic book, first published in 1965, was the first to deal comprehensively with the history of violin playing against the vast panorama of the violin's evolution and the music written for it. Its principal theme is the manner in which the violin was actually played in past centuries, dealing with such practical questions as bowing disciplines in their national and historical evolution, the performance of staccato, the use of vibrato, the meaning of numerous and esoteric performing directions, the notation and performance of double stops, the rules of scordatura playing, and the sound of the violin in early times. Remaining an invaluable source of reference for the performance of early music, this book is now available for the first time in paperback.
