Book Reviews of Violin Mastery: Interviews with Heifetz, Auer, Kreisler and Others (Dover Books on Music)
Book Review: Finally back in print
Summary: 5 Stars
I had read this book in grad school on loan from my university's library and thought it was full of interesting, inspiring and helpful information. I always wanted to buy it, but couldn't find it for under $100(!) I'm really glad Dover has reprinted it.
It's interviews with the best violinists in 1916-18ish. Some things I found amusing were the focus on gut strings and especially, David Mannes saying that anyone who needs a chin rest or shoulder rest should play the cello! -whch rests on the ground... If only he could see the students at his school now. I'm sure there's not one that doesn't have a chinrest and very few that don't use both.
Martens also wrote a sequel called String Mastery that had interviews with cellists, violists etc. I hope Dover picks up that one too. I highly recommend this book to any violinist, especially to those of us that have chosen playing the violin as a way of life.
