Book Reviews of The Art of Bowing Practice/3.3398: The Expressive Bow Technique

Book Review: It's all in the bow!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Bowing, bowing, bowing, sound cleanliness, no scratching, no accidentally touching neihboring strings, soft and loud, etc, etc. The way you handle the bow distinguishes you between making beautiful violin music and 'just making sounds'. Robert Gerle's approach to bowing is well written and has excellent tips for improving your bowing technique. Concise and clear, Mr. Gerle has made a good effort to 'try' to bring a rather semi-scientific approach to 'how the bowing should feel'. The 'marriage' between the semi-scientific' approach and the more artistic angle to bowing, makes this book a must have to both the beginner and more advanced violinist. Trust me, it is not easy to write about something you must 'feel' in order to have good control over it. Bowing is just such a 'thing'. Good job Mr. Gerle.
