"Maia Bang Violin Method" is s a classic guide to playing the violin based on a method of playing created by Leopold Auer. It covers everything a violin player needs to know from the different parts of the violin to mastering more advanced techniques. Written in simple, clear language and profusely illustrated, this fantastic guide is perfect for novice or young players, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Elementary Rudiments", "More Advanced Studies", "Third and Second Positions", "Fourth and Second Positions", "Sixth and Seventh Positions", "Higher art of Bowing", and "Piano Complainants". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the violin.
Book one goes from the keys of C, and A minor, through the keys of E, and C sharp minor. Very nice exercises, standard "old-fashioned" pace (meaning a nice clip in difficulty advancement); and not skipping steps but not dumbing down either. I want to find the other volumes to compare with this one.
