Beschreibung
In the early seventeenth century, enthusiasm for the violin swept across Europe - this was an instrument capable of bewitching virtuosity, with the power to express emotions in a way only before achieved with the human voice. With this new guide to the Baroque violin and its close cousin, the Baroque viola, distinguished performer and pedagogue Walter Reiter puts this power into the hands of today's players. Through fifty lessons based on Reiter's own highly-renowned course at The Royal Conservatory of the Hague, The Baroque Violin & Viola provides a comprehensive exploration of the period's rich and varied repertoire.
Volume I covers fundamental issues such as rhetoric and temperament, bow technique and shifting, and ends with detailed examinations of sonatas by Vivaldi and Corelli.
