The Russian school of violin playing produced many of the twentieth
century's leading violinists - from the famed disciples of Leopold
Auer such as Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, and Mischa Elman to
masters of the Soviet years such as David Oistrakh and Leonid
Kogan. Though descendants of this school of playing are found today
in every major orchestra and university, little is known about the
pedagogical traditions of the Russian, and later Soviet, violin
school. Following the revolution of 1917, the center of Russian
violin playing and teaching shifted from St. Petersburg to Moscow,
where violinists such as Lev Tseitlin, Konstantin Mostras, and
Abraham Yampolsky established an influential pedagogical tradition.
Founded on principles of scientific inquiry and physiology, this
tradition became known as the Soviet Violin School, a component of
the larger Russian Violin School. Yuri Yankelevich (1909 - 1973), a
student and assistant of Abraham Yampolsky, was greatly influenced
by the teachers of the Soviet School and in turn he became one of
the most important pedagogues of his generation. Yankelevich taught
at the Moscow Conservatory from 1936 to 1973 and produced a
remarkable array of superb violinists, including forty prizewinners
in international competitions. Extremely interested in the
methodology of violin playing and teaching, Yankelevich contributed
significant texts to the pedagogical literature. Despite its
importance, Yankelevich's scholarly work has been little known
outside of Russia. This book includes two original texts by
Yankelevich: his essay on positioning the hands and arms and his
extensive research into every detail of shifting positions.
Additional essays and commentaries by those close to him examine
further details of his pedagogy, including tone production,
intonation, vibrato, fingerings and bowings, and his general
approach to methodology and selecting repertoire. An invaluable
resource for any professional violinist, Yankelevich's work reveals
an extremely sophisticated approach to understanding the
interconnectivity of all components in playing the violin and is
complete with detailed practical suggestions and broad historical
context.
