This edition will maintain the series' longevity as a trailblazing magnum opus. It deals with practically everything of concern to the violinist, and is the most comprehensive and thorough treatise available for violin. All who own Book 1 will want this new translation by Eric Rosenblith. Newly engraved and freshly typeset, this release is a compendium to Carl Fischer Music's best-seller, The Art of Violin Playing: Book 1
"The Bible of violin playing" according to Hilary Hahn. Many teachers say that the art of violin playing is the Bible on how to play violin. I have played violin for many years, and I find this book an invaluable tool. It contains so much detail that often it must be studied to understand all the minute details that Carl Flesch wishes to convey to the reader. If you are just a beginner, I would recommend a different book. The Art of Violin Playing uses somewhat technical descriptions on how to play, which are slightly confusing at times, but never impossible to grasp. I have found myself quoting this book when I teach. For intermediate students and above Amazon Customer This book is rich in detail about playing positions, tone reproduction, and practice techniques. But while there are some pictures showing posture, fingering, etc. in Appendix A, it would be difficult for a student who has never studied music theory or played the violin to truly grasp the concepts.For intermediate or advanced students, however, this book will reinforce the instructions of teacher-led study and help the student enhance their playing skills.If you are an adult just starting out with violin play, I suggest you instead pick up The ABCs of Violin for . John A. Raymond said Essential.. This edition of Flesch is readable, usable, and solid. Both my playing and my teaching are informed by this book to the extent that I can't imagine life without it. In fact, I hold it to be, along with a case, a bow, rosin, a metronome, and the Galamian book (now available in paperback as well), one of the truly essential tools. If you intend to grow as a player, you gotta have it; this is a good translation so if you don't already own it, go ahead.
