1stricter lines, Moffat's Edition of Kammer-Sonaten can also be highly recommended. Let there be no mistake about the old Italians—they by no means wrote easily for the violin and the correct execution of their works requires a sound and honest musician as well as a fairly advanced fiddler who has already mastered his métier.
3It must be assumed that the young teacher requires considerable experience in finding just the most suitable piece for his pupil, and no blame must be attached to him if his repertoire is limited at the start. There will be naturally a vast difference of opinion as regards the value of certain compositions. However, if only the taste for the best is at once fostered and if the master remains true to his art, nothing but benefit can accrue from such good principles.
5In the following selection the Author will proceed on these lines:—In List I mention will be made of good pieces, graduated from the very easiest, without discussion of their special merits. List II will consist of pieces which sooner or later should be known to every sound violinist, and which are arranged alphabetically. Concertos and the more difficult Virtuoso pieces are of course so well known as to need no special enumeration here.
