Pure Technique, Book 1

An extensive manual of two-octave scales and arpeggios. Should be introduced after students have completed Finger Patterns and begun study in Patterns in Position. Bowing and rhythmic variations provide creative review. Use of dominant seventh arpeggios, along with major and minor arpeggios and scales, allows linking of scales through the circle off fifths to provide highly concentrated practice. Both bow control and digital facility are developed through this study.
