Legends of
the phoenix are found in
stories from ancient
Egypt and Greece. While
each culture possesses a
range of stories
encompassing the myth,
these tales tend toward
similar traits: a sacred
bird with brilliantly
colored plumage and
melodious call lives for
typically 500 years, then
dies in a nest of embers,
only to be reborn among
the flames. Phoenix
Rising consists of two
movements: I. Dying in
Embers represents an old
phoenix settling on top
of a pile of embers and
breathing its last
breath; II. Reborn in
Flames depicts the
newly-born phoenix
getting its first taste
of flight. Legends of
the phoenix are found in
stories from ancient
Egypt and Greece. While
each culture possesses a
range of stories

myth, these tales tend to
share similar traits: a
sacred bird with
brilliantly colored
plumage and melodious
call lives for typically
five hundred years; then
the bird dies in a nest
of embers, only to be
reborn among the
flames.In Egyptian
stories, the phoenix
gathers scented wood and
spices for its
funeral/rebirth pyre,
then collects the ashes
from its earlier
incarnation and flies
them to the temple of the
sun in Heliopolis to
offer as a tribute to the
sun god.In Greek myths,
the phoenix was
approximately the size of
an eagle and was adorned
with red and gold
feathers; it would fly
from either India or
Arabia to Heliopolis to
give its offering. The
bird’s association
with immortality and
resurrection are
particularly intriguing
aspects of these tales,
giving numerous writers
(including William
Shakespeare, C.S. Lewis,
and J.K. Rowling) a rich
resource for their own
stories.Phoenix Rising

The
seven-movement in the
snowy margins might be
considered a sort of
atomic suite, as each
movement is succinct, yet
a microcosmic powerhouse
inspired by “The
Comet,” by Polish
writer and Holocaust
victim Bruno Schulz.
Hersch’s intensity is
expressed through
dramatically captivating
violin gestures, pushing
the boundaries of
texture, technique, and
emotion. Michael
Hersch’s in the snowy
margins was written in
2010. Like much of his
work, it is grounded in
literature and art. The
title is drawn from a
short story, The Comet by
Polish writer, poet, and
artist, Bruno Schulz
(1892-1942). This forms
the last of his
collection The Street of
Crocodiles, published in
1934. Schulz was shot by
a Nazi officer in
1942.Both the title of
Hersch’s work, and the
‘motto’ found on the
composer’s manuscript
(‘Thus far and no
further. But what has
become of the end of the
world…’) are to be
found in The Comet.
It’s interesting that
in in the snowy margins,
unlike his earlier
Fourteen Pieces which
were inspired by the
poetry of Primo Levi,
Hersch chose to not title
each individual movement
with a quote. However his
choices of text are
applied, there is a clear
quality of distillation.
In every case, the texts
which the composer has
chosen to eschew lie
beneath the music, akin
to the greater mass of an
iceberg, submerged, but
imminent.Hersch also has
very particular taste in
visual art, and there
seems to be common ground
between the intensely
expressionist drawing of
Schulz, and those of
Michael Mazur, which
inspired his string
quartet Images from a
Closed Ward. The
parallels between these
artists reflect common
traits shared between
these two pieces, which
provide a window on how
the music should be
approached, expressively
and technically. I would
argue, that from a
violinist’s point of
view, this pertains
directly to how bow and
left hand should approach
the string: the febrile
vibrancy of both Mazur
and Schulz’s pencil and
charcoal strokes, perhaps
what T.S. Eliot called
the ‘circulation of the
lymph’, in every
gesture, speaks to the
intense experience,
physically and
emotionally, of playing
(and hearing) this music.
There is an intense sense
of ‘truth to
materials’ at every
moment, the sense that
every note sings on the
edge of, or even beyond,
total collapse.— Peter
Sheppard-Skaerved.

Inspired by
Clarence Cameron
White’s book The
Violinist’s Daily
Dozen, The
Violinist’s Daily
Sixteen is a collection
of daily exercises
compiled by Roland Vamos.
Intended for student and
professional violinists,
the collection provides
the performer with a
variety of exercises for
daily warm-ups. Mr. Vamos
also focuses on
developing dexterity and
flexibility in the
fingers and joints, the
first and fourth fingers
in particular. Each of
the sixteen exercises is
notated for each of the
four strings, and Vamos
recommends that the
exercises be practiced as
warm-ups, choosing a
different string for each
day of practice.Also
included with the Daily
Sixteen is a
comprehensive set of
studies for developing
fluency with scales and
arpeggios. Mr.
Vamos’ unique
methodology is to begin
with major scales and
arpeggios, followed by
minor scales and
arpeggios, all of which
are notated in two, three
and four octaves.
Alternate fingers are
provided, as well as a
variety of slurred and
mixed bowings using the
three parts of the bow
whenever feasible. It is
a remarkably systematic
approach to performing
scales and arpeggios on
the violin and will
surely benefit students
and professionals
alike. ForewordThis
short hand-setting set of
exercises was inspired by
a book entitled The
Violinist’s Daily
Dozen, conceived by
Clarence Cameron White, a
prominent
African-American
violinist, composer and
arranger who enjoyed the
bulk of his career in the
first half of the
twentieth century.I have
practiced this set of
exercises since I was
twelve years old. It has
served me as a superb
warm-up and hand setting
tool. Over the years, I
have found that there are
some aspects of this
warm-up routine that were
not given sufficient
attention or not
addressed at all.
Consequently, I have
expanded the Daily Dozen
to create a new work
entitled The
Violinist’s Daily
Sixteen.I have also paid
particular attention in
this work as to how these
exercises are to be
practiced. In exercises
one and two, I have
indicated some notes to
be played before the
actual written exercises.
This is to ensure that
the fourth finger will be
over the string in a
position ready to strike
even though it is not
being used. Before
playing exercises three,
four, nine, ten, eleven
and twelve, I have
indicated silent fingers
to be placed on the notes
they would be playing if
they were being used.I
have replaced Mr.
White’s grace
notes with notes of
specific value and have
slowed down the exercises
so that the first joint
(the joint nearest the
string) of each finger
can move with flexibility
and strength. At no time
should the first joint
buckle.In Mr.
White’s version,
the last exercise gave
the first finger some
very valuable backward
extensions. In this
exercise (number 14 in
this book), I caution the
student not to move the
hand along with the first
finger. The hand should
remain in position while
the first finger
independently moves back
and forth.It became
obvious to me that if the
first finger were given
the opportunity to
develop the dexterity
that Mr. White’s
twelfth exercise
emphasizes, the fourth
finger could benefit from
an exercise that gives it
a forward extension.
Consequently, I added
another exercise to
create a Baker’s
Dozen (thirteen).Several
years later, I felt that
the second and third
fingers should also have
an exercise to further
develop their
dexterity…hence
exercise fourteen was
added to create a
“Vamos
Dozen.â€Because the
first finger did not have
sufficient practice in
the development of the
first joint in the
original version, I have
added two exercises to
precede White’s
fifth exercise. After
re-working and
re-numbering these
exercises, I have come up
with a total of sixteen
exercises. It is my
suggestion that these be
practiced as a warm-up,
choosing a different
string each
day.—Roland
VamosEvanston, Illinois
2017Â PrefaceScales are
a means of teaching a
person the fingerboard on
his or her instrument.
The fingers move across
the strings and are
required to make shifts,
all in highly organized
patterns. Scales and
arpeggios are the
foundation upon which our
repertoire is built. Many
scale books have been
written; each one being
organized in its own
specific way. The Flesch
Scale System has been a
standard for many
decades. It is very
comprehensive and
systematic. From the
point of view of
establishing similar
patterns, it has one
drawback: it is organized
by starting with a major
key, followed by its
relative minor, going
through the circle of
fifths. I believe that it
is more profitable to do
only major scales with
their arpeggios first,
going up chromatically,
and then follow them in a
similar way with the
minor scales. In using
this approach, the
similarities in
fingerings between the
various scales are more
apparent. It is also
profitable to have
alternate fingerings
whenever possible. My
approach to scales and
arpeggios includes a
variety of slurred and
mixed bowings using the
three parts of the bow
whenever feasible. These
bowings are not
all-inclusive. Whenever a
particularly awkward
bowing pattern is
encountered in the
repertoire, it can be
practiced as an
additional bowing
variation in the scales
and arpeggios. Â Â I
have chosen to introduce
the three and four octave
scales by teaching two
octave scales across the
strings in one position
going up chromatically
through seven positions;
starting on the first,
second, third, and
finally fourth fingers in
major and melodic
minor.—Roland

violin teachers and
performers of the
nineteenth and early
twentieth
centuries.Twenty-four
famous violinists reveal
the secrets of their
success, sharing the
lessons of their artistry
and experience. In
addition to aesthetic and
technical aspects of
playing, they discuss
their personal
conceptions of violin
mastery. Eugene Ysaye
reminisces about his
studies with Vieuxtemps
and Wieniawski, and
Leopold Auer emphasizes
the importance of
fostering students'
individual talents. Maud
Powell describes her
pioneering role as a
female orchestral
musician, and Jascha
Heifetz voices his views
on technical mastery and
temperament. Hints and
advice from other masters
