And Do You Also Play the Violin?
Carl F. Flesch grew up in Berlin surrounded by some of the most famous musicians of the day. This is his account of the men and women behind the famous names. Carl F. Flesch is the son of the famous German violinist Carl Flesch [1873-1944] and grew up in the Berlin of the 1920s and `30s. He thus came into almost daily contact with some of the foremost musicians of the century - Furtwängler, Kreisler, Schnabel, Heifetz, Thibaud - including, of course, his father's pupils - Rostal, Haendel, Neveu, and many others. `And do you also play the violin?' was a question he was frequently asked as he grew up, and it explains his intention in writing this book: he had, in his words, `a ringside seat' to observe these musicians from close quarters and writes about the men and women behind the famous names; examining, often with some humour, the relationship between teacher and pupil, the pressure on public performers, life as the child of a famous parent, and the effect on German musical life of the Nazis' accession to power.

Scale System
Nearly a century after its initial publication, Carl Flesch's Scale System remains one of the foremost scale books for violin. This comprehensive collection of exercises features the 24 major and minor scales, with emphasis on both double-stops and arpeggios. With Flesch's exercises, the intermediate player will progressively master intonation, shifting, rhythm, string crossing, bow speed and pressure, and tone production. Initially published as a supplement to Book 1 of The Art of Violin Playing, Flesch's Scale System has become the principal scale study for serious violinists. Carl Flesch (1873-1944) was born in Hungary and began playing the violin at age seven. He was a famous chamber musician, instructor, and solo performer, who mastered repertoire ranging from Baroque to contemporary works.
Scales for Advanced Violists
The practice of scales need never be monotonous! Scales for Advanced Violists is a user-friendly scale book with each of the twelve keys complete. Dozens of bowings and rhythmic variants are offered to develop and improve evenness, clarity, agility, speed, and intonation. An innovative introduction to double-stops takes the guess work out of this important technique. The Circle of 5ths explains key signatures. The book includes three octave major, melodic minor, harmonic minor, arpeggios, broken 3rds, and chromatic scales. Double-stops in octaves, thirds, sixths, and harmonics are presented in two octaves. This is the only scale book that most violists will ever need!
Carl Flesch
Die erste Biografie über den großen Geiger und Violinpädagogen Carl Flesch, die auch über seine legendären Sommerkurse in Baden-Baden und ihr Umfeld berichtet. Flesch war einer der bedeutendsten Lehrer seiner Zeit, der viele Schülerinnen und Schüler unterrichtete, die in ihrer Musikkarriere zu großem Ruhm gelangen sollten, wie zum Beispiel Alma Moodie oder Ginette Neveu. Neben den Recherchen in den Archiven stand Wolfgang Haupt auch in engem Kontakt mit den beiden noch lebenden Enkeln von Carl Flesch, die ihn bei seiner Arbeit zu diesem Buch unterstützten, ihm Einblick in ihre Unterlagen gaben und dann dem Manuskript zustimmten. Carl Flesch lebte von 1926 bis 1935 in Baden-Baden, so ist mit diesem Buch zugleich eine Chronik der wichtigsten musikalischen Ereignisse Baden-Badens in dieser Zeit entstanden.
