Indispensable.By Rickst29This review may be superfluous; but this advanced amateur agrees: The book is extremely helpful in finding and solving "root causes" for many problems; both performance and practice. It builds upon older traditions (e.g.; Auers methods); but frequently exceeds them by adding MODERN; BETTER fingering and bowing techniques.Because so many editions of music are reprinted from long ago; and edited by an earlier generation of Violinists (some of whom would never play in an even-numbered position; others of whom would crawl down a chromatic scale with far too many shifts); this is indispensable for correcting bad suggestions/advice in those editions. Any violin player who has not fully mastered the instrument (and IMO; that collection of players includes perhaps 98% of professionals) - should at least read this book from start to end; they are likely to find a new or alternative technique of great value; explained in detail; and sometimes with pictures as well.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Best Violin Book - Period !By 5/0Gotta say this book surprised me. I thought it might be beyond my modest abilities but it turns out to be the most instructive book I could have imagined. If you buy only one violin book - MAKE IT THIS ONE !!!23 of 25 people found the following review helpful. This is a good book; but the old version is better.By W. MengTo me; it is no doubt that this is the best violin instruction book.This new version has an introduction written by Sally Thomas.The old version (published by Prentice-Hall; Inc.; Englewood Cliffs; New Jersey; in 1963) contains following parts; which the new version does not have:(1) "Postscript ---Galamian in the Studio"; (2) Vita-- Ivan Galamian; (3) Publications by Ivan Galamian; (4) index.Overall; I like the old version better.
