The Violinist's Manual - A Progressive Classification of Technical Material, Etudes, Solo-Pieces and the Most Important Chamber-Music Works as Well as (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781444649949)

First published in 1896, "The Violinist's Manual" is a classic guide to playing the violin by Eugene Gruenberg. It contains a complete course for the prospective player, with progressive material, solo pieces, notable compositions, and general tips on how to learn and improve. This volume will be of considerable utility to novice violinists and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Technical Work", "Exercises", "Pieces (Sonatas with Piano, see under D-I)", "Sight-Reading and Ensemble-playing", "One Violin and Piano (Sonatas)", " One Violin and Viola", "One Violin and 'Cello", "One Violin and Double-Bass", "One Violin and Harp", "One Violin and Organ", "Two Violins", 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.
