Composer's Note My aim in publishing this work is to demonstrate to young violinists the importance of the study of bowing, of a supple wrist, and, above all, of flexibility in the finger-joints of the right hand.
The bow represents, in a measure, the human voice; by it the tone of the violin is produced; with the bow great artists captivate, charm, and enrapture their hearers.
I am convinced that those who carefully observe my directions will develop a sympathetic tone and an elastic and elegant style of bowing.
