Excerpt from Violin Playing
The following pages were originally written as a series of articles for The Strad and in plain and simple style, in order to place before the violin Student some general guiding rules and principles of correct violin technique, as well as useful hints on how to master the same.
The rules and method, etc., set forth are simply the ordinary results of my own long experience as both teacher and public soloist, together with a keen selection of the best points peculiar to the most eminent violinists of our time.
Each portion of the whole subject follows on in systematically arranged order according to the degree of difficulty, thus making reference to any particular point more easy.
Without claiming to have founded any new System of technique, style or school, an honest attempt has been made to explain the most simple and natural method and means of obtaining such really correct technique as would form a sound preliminary towards attaining the highest degree of style and polish always noticeable in the very finest players.
It is hoped that teachers also will find some useful hints to simplify their labours in the teaching of "slow" or "difficult" pupils, and should any struggling Violinist by the perusal of this book be guided out of a fault or have his difficulties in any way lessened, the writer will be more than compensated for his small endeavours.
