(
ed. Rodney Friend
Far more than just difficult passages collected together for the benefit of aspiring orchestral pro, these extracts from the classical romantic & 20th-century concert repertoire reveal the tricks of the trade.
Rodney Friend has over 40 years' experience as leader (concert-master) of some of the world's leading orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, London Philharmonic and BBC Symphony, and has thus performed with leading maestri such as Haitink, Mehta, Barenboim, Solti, Giulini and Bernstein.
The Orchestral Violinist distils Friend's expertise by assembling extracts from each work as self-contained studies. Detailed fingerings have been applied, and workable bowings are reproduced in red, solving all of the technical problems faced by the player.
