Preface

This is the firs t in a projected se rie s of three books intended to present a method of study
covering the essential elements of contemporary violin technique. Scales and arpeggios in
single stops (Part I) are integrated in an entirely new way with a system of bowing and rhythm
patterns* (Part II). By application to the e x e rc ise s, the patterns are designed to help the student
derive greater and quicker benefit from his scale and arpeggio practice.
Since technical m astery depends more upon control of mind over muscle than upon m ere agility
of fingers, the direct way to such m astery lies through working procedures which present a
constant challenge to the student's thinking p ro cesses. For this reason new problems must
always be faced and solved. To provide such new problems in almost inexhaustible supply is
the chief purpose of these patterns.
The patterns are in two categories: Bowings (designated by B) and Rhythms (designated by R).
Each category is divided into sections, coded B1 to B16 for bowings, and R l to R16 for rhythms.
The numbers indicate the number of notes in each pattern. For example, the following bowing
pattern is regarded as a two-note pattern, being made up of two-note components
*"'# and is therefore listed under B 2. The design "T'-# "T"# is a four-note pattern and
appears under B4.
The same principle applies to the Rhythms. The following example J. J. 3 J. 3 derives from
the two-note rhythmical figure n . Accordingly it is referred to as a two-note rhythm pattern
and is listed under R2.
3 6
The figure JT3 IT j is a three-note pattern (R 3). The figure
is a twelve-note pattern (R 12).

All three-note patterns can be applied to any ex ercise employing groups of three notes or any
of their multiples. In an eight-note ex ercise , all patterns of B 1 ,B 2 ,B 4 and B 8 can be combined
with all patterns of R l, R 2, R4 and R8. In twelve-note e x e rcise s, all B and R patterns of 1, 2,
3, 4, 6 and 12 can be combined. This versatility of application perm its a single pattern to be
used for several different e x ercise s. Innumerable combinations of B and R patterns can be
utilized, as well.
The following illustrations derived from Chapter 3, Part I, will demonstrate the method of
combining the e x e rc ise s with the patterns. The applicable patterns are:
B l , B2, B 3, B4, B 6 and B 12
R l, R2, R3, R4, R6 and R12

*The guiding idea of this integration is explained in Ivan Galamians book, P rinciples o f Violin Playing
and Teaching, Prentice-H all, In c., Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 1962.

Combined with B4, 3) "T"* and R12, 8) J J~3 J7 1 J JJJ5 5

At the head of each chapter in Part I B and R code numbers are listed to indicate the applicable
patterns. Prim ary patterns in which the ex e rcise should fir s t be practiced are also given.
To facilitate the use of various bowings, rhythms and their combinations, all note-heads in the
ex ercise s are printed without stem s. Bowing patterns are shown by note-heads which do not
indicate any specific time value, m eter or rhythm. Rhythm patterns are presented without any
indications for specific bowings.
Wherever two different fingerings are given (one above and one below the notes) both are to be
practiced. Other fingerings should also be devised. In some ex ercise s in Chapters 10-12 of
Part I the use of "creeping" fingering is suggested. This technique is briefly explained in
Chapter 10.
The teacher will be the best judge of which bowings, rhythms and their combinations will most
usefully serve the needs of each student. It is suggested that the patterns be utilized in a d iv er
sified fashion and that the rhythms and bowings be employed in constantly changing combinations
to stimulate continuous interest. Chapters 3, 4 and 7 of Part I contain particularly important
m aterial for such treatm ent.
We hope this approach to the problems of contemporary violin technique will provide interesting
and profitable results for both teacher and student.

In addition to these patterns, practice all three-octave sca les with the A c c e le r a tio n E x e r c is e
as shown in the following example. In playing it make sure that the value of the quarter note
rem ains the same throughout. Choose a slow tempo at fir s t (J = 50-60), then gradually in crease
it. The ex ercise may also be practiced in rev erse as a R etard ation E x e r c is e by starting at the
end with the thirty-second notes and finishing with the eighth notes.

A F ew N o n -T rad itio n al Scales and A rpeggios
The sca les and arpeggios in this section are intended as introductory study m aterial for
contemporary music. Each ex ercise is built from a basic interval or se rie s of intervals
indicated by the lower bracket and regularly repeated at a definite interval-distance shown by
the upper bracket. The resulting non-traditional sequences provide a technical basis for an
approach to present-day music.

B o w in g Patterns
The Bowing Patterns are realized by repetition. Thus, the basic two-note pattern be
com es Each m aster pattern form s variants by being shifted, note
by note, across the bar line.
All patterns maybe started either upbow or downbow. Dots may be substituted for dashes
and vice versa. Either may represent any kind of detached or staccato stroke, short or
long; on or off the string.
Apply the bowings fir s t to the Prim ary Patterns which appear at the beginning of each
ex ercise in Part I. Then combine them with the Rhythm Patterns to be found starting on
page 20 of Part II.

SIX T EE N -N O T E BO W IN G PATTERNS Bl6
Sixteen-note patterns are formed by combining patterns of sm aller groups adding up to
sixteen notes, such as a twelve- and a four-note group; two eight-note groups; a seven-, a
six - and a three-note group, e tc . These newly formed patterns may then be shifted, note
by note, acro ss the bar line to form still m ore patterns.
Exam ples:
a twelve- and four-note group:

two eight-note groups:

The sam e combination principle can also be used to form new twelve-note, nine-note,
eight-note patterns, e tc .

GMC 2356 19
R h y th m P attern s
The Rhythm Patterns, like the Bowings, are realized by repetition. In some instances this
repetition is spelled out, partially or entirely, for greater clarity . A bracket I I is then
used to indicate the basic pattern.
A slur combined with a horizontal line linking two notes shows that they are tobe played
as one note. For example, J j> indicates one note representing the time value of five s ix
teenths. The line is to show that the pitch rem ains unchanged.

Beginning with R2, the patterns in each chapter are arranged in three groups under the
headings of a), b) and c ) . a) presents simple rhythms in traditional m eters, b) syncopated
rhythms and c) rhythms in irregular m eters.
The following patterns should be practiced fir s t ddtache, then legato. For legato practice
begin by slurring the notes of the pattern only, J^ 3 Then extend the slur over the en
tire m easure. Where re sts within the pattern prevent a legato rendition, play the pattern in
one bow stroke,
As a final step, bowing and rhythm patterns should be combined as illustrated in the last
two examples in the preface.

NOTE: It may be advisable to begin the rhythm patterns on open strings before applying these patterns
to the scales, noting those that are troublesome fo r additional attention.

Preface
The second volume of Contemporary Violin Technique deals with double and multiple stops by way of scale and
arpeggio exercises. Together, the two volumes are intended to serve as efficient tools for building a technique to master the
violin repertoire of the past and present.
In the first (scale) part of this volume, most exercises are written in C but contain the note Practice in all keys. In
many exercises, where crucial technical problems are at stake (such as scales in thirds, sixths, octaves, etc.) it is important to
follow this instruction conscientiously. In other exercises, though, a smaller number of keys might meet an individuals need.
However, those who want to get the maximum benefit from this book are warned against limiting themselves to the written
key alone. By so doing they will severely handicap a balanced growth of their technique.
Where alternate fingerings are given, above and below the notes, care must be taken not to interchange them. Both
should be practiced and new ones may be devised.
As in the first volume, the notes are printed as unstemmed heads to facilitate the use of bowing and rhythm variants.
Double stops, by their nature, require fewer bowing and rhythm patterns than do the single stop exercises of the first
volume. However, the introduction of a few patterns is highly beneficial, once the exercise is mastered in its simplest form. The
patterns add a new dimension of technical challenge and besides minimize the danger of mechanical, unthinking repetition,
which is the chief cause of wasteful and inefficient practice habits.
The exercises are arranged in groups of either 6, 8 , 9, or 12 notes. In order to avoid needless repetition within the text,
the basic Bowing (B) and Rhythm (R) patterns for each of these categories are listed here:

Groups of 6 notes:

Bf] n J i w f f t f J t ii

Hu /]. ii ntw m m i m u
Groups of 8 notes:

bn r ) r n ii m n m rm j f f l n
brin /]. i n h urn ii rm . nj m n
Groups of 9 notes:

bfp f n n )\\m m m m m m h
bm i i m m i i J T i i i m m m h
Groups of 12 notes:

b fn ] J ) JjLii m m m m fn m n r m %
n j) r n ) r m u m r j j j j j j j i i

Bm n ^ iin ii/] .iim A ] iim m u


For further variants see Part II (Bowing and Rhythm Patterns) of Volume 1 of Contemporary Violin Technique. The following
examples, as listed in Bowing and Rhythm Patterns, are all theoretically applicable in this volume of double stop exercises.
B l, B2, B3, B 6
Groups of 6 : R l, R2, R3, R 6
B l, B2, B4, B 8
Groups of 8: R l, R2, R4, R 8
B l, B3, B9
Groups of 9: R l. R3, R9
B l, B2, B3, B4, B 6, B12
Groups of 12: R l, R2, R3, R4, R 6 ,R12
In practice, however, only the simpler of these patterns will generally be found useful; and the teacher or advanced player will
have to select ones that are suitable for a given situation.
The exercises, though generally on a rather high level of difficulty, need not be forbidding to the less advanced player
provided one approaches them by preparatory steps. One such step is to separate the notes of the double stops before playing
them together (the first exercise of the book will serve as an illustration):

'I*

Another approach is to practice a small section of an exercise first on one string, then on the other:

$ rrrrr
Following this procedure, one should finger the double stops as written, but bow only one string at a time. This method is
especially helpful in discovering the causes of poor intonation and in detecting flaws in shifting technique.

Finally, all exercises can be played in continuous alternation of the strings, be it slurred or detached, starting from
either below (ex. 1) or above (ex. 2) or in the triplet versions of exs. 3 and 4:
ex. 1 ex. 2 ex. 3 ex. 4

The gratifying reception accorded the first volume of Contemporary Violin Technique encourages us to believe that
this second volume will also be useful to teachers, students and advanced performers of the violin.

Although the above fingerings are usable for all the keys, other fingerings are better adapted
to the needs of any specific key because they avoid the oblique movement of fingers from one
string to the next and thereby result in a clearer articulation. The principle is demonstrated
in the following three major and three minor keys and may be applied in analogy to all others.
