Book description
Originally published in 1930, this little book is not an exposition of
the art of violin-playing, nor does it claim to teach a system of
technical study. The authors aim was to help students and less
experienced teachers through some of the more frequent problems from
which they will, almost inevitably, be faced. Many of the earliest
books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern
editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include: Posture
