Bow Exercises for the Expressive Violinist is a series of fundamental bow studies allowing the player to acquire agility in the right hand, an even tone in all parts of the bow, and an ability to play with ease and virtuosity. The study of these exercises gives the serious student an increased palette of colors, a nuanced amplitude of dynamics, and an increased speed with which new music can be played with beauty and expression. This book series is intended as a precursor to the Sevcik Bowing Books.
