Violinschule von Louis Spohr - Spohr, Louis 1784-1859 (Vienna Haslinger, 1832)
Louis (originally Ludewig) Spohr was a violinist and a prolific composer, highly regarded in his lifetime. Spohr invented the violin chinrest and the orchestral rehearsal mark.
Spohr's Violinschule is a standard work in violin instruction. The first part deals with practical matters like the instrument itself, strings, the bow, keeping the materials in good working order. The second part starts with playing open strings and continues in 66 etudes to an advanced level. All pieces are in duet form so the teacher can play along. The third part deals with musical performance in various settings (from accompaniment to playing solo in a concerto).
