Synopsis

“The Secrets of Violin Playing” is a classic guide to playing the violin, dealing with every aspect from care and maintenance of the instrument to mastering the basics and avoiding common problems. It contains a wealth of timeless information that will be of considerable utility to novice players, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage violin literature. Contents include: “The Purpose of the Work”, “Violin Players”, “The Trifler”, “The Showy Player”, “The Model Player”, “Holding the Violin”, “Chin-Rests (illustrated)”, “The Spoon, Double Ridge, Spohr, Adjustable Voigt's Shoulder, and New Vulcanite Chin-Rests”, “Their Advantages and Disadvantages Analysed and Explained”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the violin.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Purpose of theW ork. THE extensive field over which my little works appear to have travelled has called forth a very great amount of correspondence, always eulogistic, but generrdly containing also many practical questions on points not fully explained in the books. On many of these points there must always be some difT erence of opinion, but so far as it is in my power I shall cndeavoiir to make them clear in these pages in a manner so impartial that the reader may to a great extent rely iipon liis own judgment in the adoption or rejection of the hints. Many of them need not be placed before a beginner at all, inasmuch as so many minute details are apt to scare a young player. It is therefore to violin players more than beginners that I now address myself, and more especially the earnest student. The Trifler. Hundreds of violin players, so called, only trifle with the instrument they play with the violin, not on it. They are a fraud and imposition; they are the clog of all Amateur Orchestral Societies, with their violins never perfectly in tune, and their fingers always dragging and scumbling any passage of moderate difficulty, or losing their heads, and flying off half a beat before every one else when the notes happen to be within their reach. A ny one may make a mistake at times, but these triflers are always making mistakes, and smiling blandly over them, or arguing the point hotly, and plainly implying that every one else was wrong.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
