Description
Exercises for the Violin in Various Combinations of Double-Stops has been newly revised and now features a DVD with Daniel Ziesemer demonstrating its exercises. To encapsulate the significance and advantages of these exercises for budding violinists, one can refer to the insights of both a student and the creator. Rachel Barton Pine, who contributes the foreword to this edition, emphasizes that Vamos's double-stop exercises address a notable gap in the available literature for violinists and violists. While numerous classic texts by composers like Schradieck, Sevcik, Flesch, and Dounis cover various intervals such as thirds, sixths, and octaves, none offer a structured series of fixed double-stops that allow aspiring musicians to practice and master every conceivable combination of finger patterns across two strings without the need for shifting.
