`In all areas of human endeavour, time and again an individual
appears who, due to a multitude of personal attributes, elevates
his or her field to a hitherto unknown height. Such an individual
was William Primrose. His name and the viola are synonymous.' Janos
Starker This unique book is the result of a series of conversations
with Primrose in the last years before his death in 1982. David
Dalton describes how he came to the great artist armed with every
question he could think of pertaining to performing on and teaching
the viola. The lively dialogue contains a wealth of illuminating
advice for the student on the technicalities of playing the viola.
It is, however, far more than a technical guide. The two violists
discuss the unique position of their instrument - `an instrument
without tradition' is Primrose's bald description. They cover the
topic of repertoire with fascinating insights into the performance
of the great concertos by Bartok and Walton, with which Primrose
was so closely associated. Still more invaluable advice emerges
from the discussion of Primrose's own experience, on the art of
performance, on demeanour on stage, on competitions, on recordings,
and on preparing for a career. The book is a tribute to one of the
greatest artists of this century.
