Excerpt from Violin Playing 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.

Excerpt from The Story of the Violin Who will describe it, tone Of a Stradivari violin, when the true artist draws it from its hiding-place? That indescribably sweet voice - voice of an angel and yet ringing with the dear familiar sound of earth, with earthly passions, joys and woes and ecstasies; intensely human and yet so superhuman that the soul is seized with hopeless longing to follow it, to oat with it through realms unknown and infinite, charged, we know not how, with music or with love. Yes, indescribably sweet voice, where thou endest the music of the Spheres begins. (or, is it thai perhaps which rises from the petals of owers in wondrous ex halations, half-perfume and half-melody, and, trembling in the sunlight, draws the bee the way to the honey P) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
