Faber Music Ltd Superstart Violin Accompaniments
Book SynopsisSuitable for beginner violinists, this book features music and fun activities from the very first lesson to inspire and stimulate pupils and teachers. It includes piano accompaniments and violin duet lines.Trade ReviewSuperstart begins by teaching students the different parts of the instrument and how to hold it comfortably before moving on to pizzicato followed by bowed open strings, using crotchets, quavers and semiquavers as well as crotchet rests. Fingers are introduced one at a time on each string followed by key signatures, further note lengths and rests, slurs and low second fingers. Throughout Superstart other technical aspects such as harmonics and glissandi are introduced, and dynamics feature early on. There are boxes at the top of each page containing the main learning points for easy reference.....Superstart moves quickly, but provides a very thorough and imaginative foundation which younger students in particular would enjoy. The books contain a wide variety of traditional music, well-known classical pieces and new material. There are helpful tips throughout and amusing illustrations by Todd O’Neill as well as brainteasers, little games to help learn rhythms and fun activities. I have no hesitation in recommending this book, which would be suitable for individual or group teaching. Ensemble Magazine, September 2007

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Romantic Violin Performing Practices: A Handbook
Book SynopsisWhat are the key topics that define Romantic violin playing? This book discusses key issues (and barriers) of putting into practice nineteenth-century violin performing practices. It deals with a number of well-known problems concerning romantic performance including the widely perceived 'gap' between scholarship and the act of performance. Taking account of a modernist revolution in performing practices and aesthetic thought in the twentieth century, the book focuses on key topics to define romantic violin playing. Practically-focused chapters discuss key aspects of performing practice evidence. The book then moves into a case-study phase to discuss examples from the author's long experience. It concludes with practical advice and exercises to enable students to begin experimenting with the assimilation of such practices into their own performance. In this way, the proposed structure aims to be a 'handbook' proper. The handbook ends by looking to the future and suggesting practical ways for violinists to adopt what has been discussed in the text. The continued centrality of nineteenth-century music in contemporary concert life makes the importance of the topic self-evident.Trade ReviewFrom the first pages, Milsom's authoritativeness as a performer and scholar of romantic performance practices comes to the fore immediately. Any library that collects works of violin pedagogy to any reasonable depth of coverage will benefit from adding this and Milsom's other writings to their collection. * MUSIC REFERENCE SERVICES QUARTERLY *Table of ContentsIntroduction Mind the Gap: Of Chasms, Historical Research, and 'Romantic' Performance A Modernist Revolution?

George F. Thompson Violins and Hope: From the Holocaust to Symphony
Book SynopsisAmnon Weinstein, an Israeli master luthier (violin maker), began a project more than years ago that may be one of the most creative, effective, and magnificent approaches to education on the topic of the Holocaust. Trained by three of the most revered Cremona, Italian luthiers of the twentieth century, Weinstein’s vision was to restore violins that survived the concentration camps and the ghettos, even when their owners often did not. To date, more than seventy violins have been restored to their highest playable condition. Following restoration, these hauntingly beautiful instruments have been used in performances by symphonies in Berlin, Cleveland, Istanbul, London, Quebec, Paris, San Francisco, and many other cities across the world. Purposefully, Weinstein makes certain that young musicians as well as members of some of the world’s most famed orchestras perform on them to packed concert halls. In doing so, it’s as if the past owners of the instruments return to fill the listener-observer’s mind and body.In Violins and Hope, Daniel Levin has made the most compelling and beautiful series of photographs documenting Weinstein’s collection of violins, his workshop in Tel Aviv, and his processes for restoration. This book is not a document of place, as much as it is a document of the ethereal. For what Weinstein has done with these lost violins has been to transform tragic loss into triumph in the most inciteful and powerful way imaginable. The care that Levin has taken to hone in on the idiosyncrasies of Amnon’s workshop, and his uncanny ability to celebrate the beauty of light, is nothing short of remarkable.The book’s foreword is written by arguably the most well-suited individual anywhere. Born in Austria, Franz Welser-Möst is one of the most acclaimed conductors of the twenty-first century. He has been Music Director of the Cleveland Orchestra since 2002, and, under his direction, The Cleveland, as it has been fondly named by The New York Times, has had twenty international tours, with shimmering reviews. All too aware of his ancestry, Welser-Möst takes on our mutual history as no one else could. And the book concludes with Levin’s interview with Assi Weinstein, Amnon’s wife, who talks about the Violins of Hope project and its enduring legacy.
