Title: The Art of Bowing Practice/3.3398: The Expressive Bow Technique by Robert Gerle ISBN: 0-85249-791-1 Publisher: Dantalian Pub. Date: 01 June, 1991 Format: Paperback List Price(USD): $24.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.67 (3 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Concise and helpful.
Comment: A nice book that is divided into two parts. The first part is about basic bowing
physics and skills. The second part is about articulation and performance
based on different bowing techniques. The description is clear, though more
pictures can be inserted between the lines. It's often hard to visualize the
positions without a clear understanding of the terms and visualization
capability. The analysis in the second part of the book is fundamental and
thorough. This book serves as a nice companion to violin players. Of course,
the great play comes not after reading a good book, but from extensive practice.

Summary: It's all in the bow!!!
Comment: Bowing, bowing, bowing, sound cleanliness, no scratching, no accidentally touching neihboring strings, soft and loud, etc, etc. The way you handle the bow distinguishes you between making beautiful violin music and 'just making sounds'. Robert Gerle's approach to bowing is well written and has excellent tips for improving your bowing technique. Concise and clear, Mr. Gerle has made a good effort to 'try' to bring a rather semi-scientific approach to 'how the bowing should feel'. The 'marriage' between the semi-scientific' approach and the more artistic angle to bowing, makes this book a must have to both the beginner and more advanced violinist. Trust me, it is not easy to write about something you must 'feel' in order to have good control over it. Bowing is just such a 'thing'. Good job Mr. Gerle.

Summary: It's very practical and useful.
Comment: After reading and following some exercises, I have improved a lot in my right hand. Now the sound generated from the bow is much better and I'm going to explore more in this book.
