Book Reviews of Violin Mastery: Interviews with Heifetz, Auer, Kreisler and Others (Dover Books on Music)
Book Review: No Substance Here
Summary: 1 Stars
As a student of two years, I purchased this book in hopes that it might contain helpful insights into becoming a better player. Instead I found a completely impractical collection of airy, pedagogical theory. In addition, I found myself less motivated to play; feeling inferior for not having the luxury of practicing 4+ hours each day. I'm not suggesting that the instructors themselves are poor, but that the questions asked of them were of little value to me.
