Comprehensive Scale and Arpeggio Manual for Violin

This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to playing the piano, focusing on the basic techniques and elemental principles. Scale practice is of the utmost importance when learning the violin, and this guide concentrates on this idea, using it as a starting point for the mastery of perfect intonation, rapidity, evenness, smooth changes, firm fingering, and neat changes of position. This volume is highly recommended for new players and collectors of vintage violin literature. Contents include: "Major Scales in one Octave with Tonic Minors", "Melodic and Harmonic Forms", "Major and Minor Scales in Two Octaves", "Arpeggios of Major and Minor Chords with First and Second Inversions in Two Octaves", "Chromatic Scales in Two Octaves", "Chords in the Dominant Seventh with Inversions in two Octaves", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the violin.
