Originally published in 1924, this book is the result of many years' quiet thought and observation in connection with the authors own teaching. It focuses mainly on the essential skills of violin playing, rather than on the peculiarities that all players adopt to suit their own requirements. The book contains broad common-sense views, preferring not to concentrate on any particular "school" or "method." It is also written with some humour and in a very colloquial style. Complete with detailed diagrams and photographic plates. Contents Include: Part 1 - Explanation - Argument - Tone - Advice to Beginners - The Left Side of the Body - The Right Side of the Body, (The Bow Arm) - Left Hand Technique - Finger Action - The Third Position - The Second Position - Higher Positions - Sliding - Fingering - Bowing - Sautille - Ricochet or Elastic Staccato - How to Practise Double Stopping - Extensions - Right Hand Pizzicato - Left hand Pizzicato - Harmonics - The Shake - Tremolo or Vibrato - Sight Reading and Memorising - Controlled Movement and Concentration - How to Become a Musician - Musical Development - Conclusion, "Dont's"
