About this book
The sound of a singing violin matters as much as agile fingers in these conversations with performers and teachers. Frederick Herman Martens gathers interviews with Eugène Ysaye, Leopold Auer, Fritz Kreisler, Maud Powell and other musicians, asking how technical command becomes musical expression. The chapters cover practice, tone, vibrato, harmonics, ensemble playing and the work of teaching, with each speaker approaching mastery from personal experience.
Ysaye recalls his studies with Wieniawski and Vieuxtemps and discusses sonatas whose violin and piano parts demand equal artistry. In another conversation, Hans Letz explains why the bow shapes accent, articulation and the finer shades of interpretation. These passages give students specific ideas to consider in their own playing, while listeners gain a vocabulary for hearing what performers do. The interview form also preserves differences of emphasis among musicians who share the same instrument.
