Violin Mastery: Talks with Master Violinists and Teachers

A series of interviews with leading violinists and teachers presents their perspectives on the craft, combining technical instruction with interpretive and pedagogical philosophy. Masters discuss tone production, bowing, vibrato, harmonics, practice habits, ensemble and quartet technique, program planning, and the teacher's role, while offering practical hints for students and concert players. Each chapter focuses on a different artist or instructor whose reminiscences and advice illuminate varying schools and temperaments, and the volume includes portraits and commentary on repertoire and editorial issues affecting performance.
