dc.description.abstract | This thesis addresses a number of issues that have developed in the concepts and practices of
violin pedagogy and performance since World War II. In particular it identifies the ways in
which cultural transnationality has diminished the distinctiveness of various historic schools
of violin playing and pedagogy, and has led to practices and concepts within teaching that
threaten a historically and artistically informed view of what it means to learn the instrument.
It compares current practice with those that prevailed between the middle of the 18th century
and the decades immediately after World War II, and identifies a lack of published treatises
by contemporary pedagogues. A discussion of the genealogy of teaching between
distinguished pedagogues of today and those of the 18th century identifies important issues of
technique and of artistic heritage that are endangered, plus concepts that are maintained by
the best teachers and must be preserved. A vast amount of data regarding this genealogy has
been gathered so as to provide a far-reaching family tree that is accompanied by an infogram.
The second part of the thesis consists of an extended discussion of the various approaches
taken by the author's teachers (including Shmuel Ashkenasi, Herman Krebbers, Igor Ozim,
Ana Chumachenco and Zakhar Bron) to specific technical and artistic challenges. It
concludes that one of the most potentially valuable counterweights to these tendencies would
be the establishment of an Internet database that would be available to students and
pedagogues alike. Both the methodology and the content of this thesis would be a valid
starting point for such a database. | en |
