TRATISE ON THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF VIOLIN PLAYING

'Treatise on Fundamental Principles of Violin Playing' features notes on performance, practice, a glossary of technical terms and specific chapters on the playing of written and improvised embellishments, the trill, and special rhythmic figures. Copious exercises illustrate each point made in the text. A Preface-revised for this edition-offers an illuminating biographical study of Leopold both as a man and as a musician.
