Jascha Heifetz – Scales as Pedagogy

Heifetz held, among many others, scales as essential and foundational to all of violin playing writ large. The Heifetz scale system – arranged and transcribed for publications – offers insight into the variety, depth, and comprehension with which Heifetz viewed violin essentials. Included are some unusual exercises involving chromatic and chromaticisms as well as left-handed pizzicato for violin agility. A must-have for every violinist looking to think with violinistic ingenuity as well as develop a good grasp and range of violin technique at a fairly advanced and even collegiate or university level.
