About
World famous Violinist shares with the reader his unique store of understanding knowledge about his instrument how to practice performance techniques. He reflects on the nature and scope of the violin from its earliest beginnings to a contemporary context.
William Primrose was perhaps the last centuries greatest master of the Viola and he gives his unmatched, knowledgeable insight into the history and techniques of that instrument.
The in depth analysis, discussion, theory and practices in this boo are sutre to stimulate, motivate and inspire Violin and Viola players and gives a wonderful, vivid insight for non-Violin players.
The Yehudi Mehuhin Music Guides are hugely important and twice as useful! Each one concentrates on a particular instrument from the orchestral family; giving information, background, history, and technique all by recognised and skilled musicians - experts in their field who are well placed to pass on their experience.
