Here is a virtual masterclass for violinists, and for all those who love the music of that instrument, by one of the legendary virtuosi of our time.
In a performing career that spanned more than six decades, Hungarian-born violinist Joseph Szigeti established extraordinary new levels of achievement for the modern violin virtuoso. His flawless technique is well documented in the many recordings he made (as William Primrose said, "That man's got more fingers and more strings than the rest of us!"). Szigeti was also a scholar of music, a champion of many important 20th-century works for the violin, an astute observer and critic of the contemporary music world, and above all, an extraordinary musical interpreter with a passionate concern for the accurate, authentic presentation of great music.
These traits are also basic to "Szigeti on the Violin", his genial, insightful tour of the modern world od music and musicianship. Written primarily for the practicing violinist (and the book is certainly required reading for any amateur or professional), its wealth of non-technical material will make "Szigeti on the Violin" fascinating to any music lover, regardless of expertise.
Szigeti's topics, though extraordinary diverse, are designed to exhibit the hard-won lessons of an elder statesman. He discusses the drawbacks of many present-day teaching methods, and the impact of international competitions and the record industry on the careers of young instrumentalists. He evaluates the present state of musical scholarship, and laments the many textual errors that plague performances of such important works as the Beethoven Concerto and "Spring" Sonata, and the Brahms Concerto. He speaks of the historical changes in musical interpretation reflected in the styles of Joachim, Sarasate, Auer, Ysaÿe. Above all, he fills his text with innumerable suggestions for the practicing violinists: guidelines for bowing, vibrato, tone coloration, tempo, etc. Over 350 musical examples, spanning the entire history of classical music, argument the text. Those who read "Szigeti on the Violin" will gain a more subtle and knowledgeable opinion about the vast violin repertoire and the skills needed to perform it.
