Tonleiterschule - Heft 2, Op.5

Beschrijving

József Bloch (1862-1922) was an outstanding figure in violin pedagogy in Hungary. With his violin method entitled A hegedűjáték és tanítási módszere (Violin Playing and How to Teach it) he provided sound theoretical knowledge for future teachers. In addition, his books of scales, violin tutors, and finger exercises contributed to the success of teaching in practice. Bloch placed great emphasis on laying a foundation for instrumental technique and raising it to an artistic level. His three-volume Hangsoriskola (Scale Method) provides a systematic, structured collection of studies for playing scales, a daily necessity for string players. With these fingerings, which pair up the fingers, the exercises promote flexibility of the hand and independence of the fingers.
