Beschreibung:
Ruggiero Ricci, in a career spanning more than 75 years, has played more concerts and produced more recordings than any violinist past or present. Ricci became the first violinist to record the complete Caprices of Nicolò Paganini in their unadulterated form in 1947.Gregory Zayia is an amateur violinist and longtime aficionado of the artistry of Ruggiero Ricci.
In his book on left-hand violin technique, Maestro Ruggiero Ricciaddresses common problems in shifting by advocating the study of the glissandotechnique. He asserts that re-incorporating this technique will not only aidviolinists in developing a better-trained ear, but also provide them with"shortcuts" to playing some of Paganini's most difficult passages.Ricci introduces and compares old and new systems of playing toprovide a context for the glissando system. He outlines a series of glissando scalesthat provides the student with a blueprint for developing additional glissandoscales in other keys. He offers exercises designed to increase flexibility, eartraining, coordination, and crawling technique and has included a DVD in which hedemonstrates various bowing techniques.
