Book Overview

Modern Violin Playing is a book written by Samuel B. Grimson in 1920. The book is a comprehensive guide to playing the violin, covering everything from the basics of holding the instrument and producing sound to advanced techniques such as vibrato and double stops. Grimson's approach is grounded in the principles of classical violin playing, but he also includes tips and exercises that are relevant to other styles of music, such as folk and jazz. The book is divided into chapters that cover topics such as posture, bowing, fingering, and intonation, and each chapter includes exercises and practice tips to help the reader improve their playing.
