I have used many of the technics discussed in "The Art of Quartet Playing" with my own violin and viola students. There are many subjects covered that I never had in my own music education; so it feels like inside information. I would think this would be a difficult read if the reader knows nothing about string instruments; but for those who do; its a treasure trove!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book. Readily applicable to any ensemble playing; especially orchestralBy T KThis is a great and fun read for any string player. There are numerous subjects from articulations; interpretative issues; intonation; practice techniques; ensemble dynamics and much more. Its really a rare treat to get such a clear picture into the workings of such a renowned group; as well as getting a sense for every individual in the quartet. As a bassist; I took a lot from this book and feel almost all of it is directly applicable to my work as an orchestral player.If youre looking for a little inspiration; new ideas; or just curious about the string quartet genre; this is a must.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great for a violin nerd like meBy Frito-LayWell; I am really enjoying this book; but I have to warn you; if you are not a fairly nerdy violin; viola; or cello player; its probably not for you. Its fairly hard-core into the details of playing these instruments (and; of course; playing as a quartet ensemble); but if you like that kind of thing; then this author and these four performers are offering a continuous stream of valuable insight.
