Yehudi Menuhin VIOLIN Six lessons with Yehudi Menuhin Menuhin's manual on violin playing, originally published in 1971, has been hailed as a major contribution to the study of the instrument. It is now issued for the first time in a Norton Paperback edition. The book is designed as a practical course for use by both teachers and students: the six chapters take the violinist from the very earliest stages to the more advanced aspects of left hand technique and bowing. Central to each chapter is a progressive sequence of exercises, set out under comprehensive sub-headings, together with descriptive analyses of the movements and sensations involved. These are reinforced by many illustrations and diagrams, which well serve Menuhin's principal purpose of concentrating attention on?and perfecting?the smallest movements so that the violinist can truly achieve the physical freedom and technical mastery that constitute the goal of every student player. Appendices offer useful hints on practising, on the upkeep of the instrument and bow, and a valuable series of daily exercises for the more advanced violinist. No one else has presented so lucid and detailed a description of the components of violin playing . . . a contribution of inestimable value to string pedagogy.'
