Part 3 — Translator’s Appendix.

The Viola.

The terms “Viola”, “Tenor”, “Bratsche”, “Alto”, and “Quinte”, are all used in different countries to designate that member of the violin family which is tuned a fifth lower than the violin. In England it is commonly known as the Tenor, from the fact of its playing a part in the string quartet analogous to that of the tenor voice in relation to the other voices in part-singing. In Italy it was termed the “Viola di braccio” to distinguish it from the larger viols which rested on the ground or were supported by being placed between the performer’s knees. “Viola” or “Alto” the Italians now term it, the music written for it being in the alto clef (middle C on the 3ʳᵈ line):—

The German term “Bratsche” is simply a corruption of “Braccio”. “Quinte” is the name by which it is usually called in France, indicating that it is tuned a fifth lower than the violin.

The tuning is as follows:—

The G and C are both covered strings.

Occasional high passages necessitate the employment of the treble or “violin” clef. Although its three upper strings are identical in pitch with the three lowest of the violin, the quality is quite different, the viola being more reedy and penetrating. This is due to the disproportion between the deeper tuning of the instrument and its dimensions, which are only about one-seventh greater than those of the violin. Tenors were formerly made in several sizes. The ponderous instruments of Gaspar da Salo and other Italian makers are of greater interest to collectors than of practical utility, requiring arms of exceptional length to play them. The large sized Violas were known as the “Viola tenore”, and the ordinary sized instrument as the “Viola alto”, and the two had often separate parts assigned to them in the same composition, down to the time of Handel. Hence the survival of the two names Alto and Tenor, applied in our own day to the same instrument.

The rich and sympathetic quality of tone of the viola renders it eminently suited for the performance of Nocturnes, Elegies, and melodies of a pathetic or tragic character. Some beautiful compositions have been specially written for it, and it is to be regretted that these are so very seldom heard in public.

From the penetrating character of the tone, new violas are invariably harsher than new violins or violoncellos, but fortunately several good makers of the last century have left a number of instruments which have now become matured, and the demand being so much less than for violins, a good medium sized viola may often be obtained at about half the cost of a violin of the same quality.

Mr. Hermann Ritter of Heidelberg has in recent years endeavoured to revive the large tenor under the name of Ritter’s Viola Alta. Several of these instruments have been made, and they have been used with good effect at the Bayreuth Wagner Festivals.

Vidal’s measurements of a Stradivarius Viola dated 1723, are as follows:—

in.

Length of body (from base of button to tail pin) 16³/₁₆

Breadth (upper bouts) 7⁵/₁₆

” (lower ” ) 9¹⁵/₃₂

” (inner ” ) 5⁵/₃₂

Height of ribs (upper bouts) 1¹⁷/₃₂

” ” ” (lower ” ) 1⁹/₁₆

Violin Methods.

Courvoisier, C. Violin School. (7600 a-c).

An elaborate method in three parts, with five supplementary parts constituting a “School of Velocity” (7603 a-e), with copious explanations given in English, German and French.

David, F. Violin School.

Hofmann, R. The First Instruction in Violin Playing, complete (5668) or in 2 Bks. (5668 a, b). (Der erste Unterricht im Violinspiel.) Op. 92.

The first elements are explained in a very thorough and systematic manner. For young amateurs it has moreover the advantage of engaging their interest by the frequent use of well known melodies in the places of dry meaningless figures.

Kayser, H. E. Popular Violin Tutor (Elementary). Op. 65. (7606.)

A clear and systematic primer which leads the pupil on by the aid of favourite melodies will be always attractive for young beginners.

These studies impart great flexibility to the bowing, together with much practice in the higher positions.

A careful revision of fingering and bowing with the addition of expression marks and part of bow to be used distinguish E. Heim’s Edition from all others.

The same, revised by Carl Courvoisier. (5655).

The fingering and phrasing has been carefully marked on the basis of the Joachim School. He avoids slurs of too great length which impair the power of tone.

16 Studies (to follow the 36 Studies, Op. 20). Op. 30. (8661).

This carefully revised edition is particularly useful by frequently giving two or more different fingerings for one and the same study or single passage. The numbering of every tenth bar is also useful in studying sub-sections.

Kreutzer, R. 42 Studies. New Edition, revised and fingered by Ernst Heim. (5671).

The original text has been carefully adhered to. The revision (fingerings, bowing and marks of expression) show the same care which distinguishes all Heim’s editions, while the explanatory remarks make this Edition particularly valuable.

The same, revised and phrased by Carl Courvoisier (5665).

Courvoisier’s Edition gives very good advice on the choice of position. While Heim has kept closely to the original text giving advice to the manner of rendering it, Courvoisier preferred to give his own phrasing etc. in the text, e. g. the cadencial figures in the first study.

The original text has been adhered to, with very clear indications of positions, fingerings, bowing and marks of expression by Ernst Heim.

Rode, P. Caprices, revised by Carl Courvoisier 5678.

Courvoisier does not adhere altogether to the original text, but uses his own discretion, here as elsewhere he is careful to avoid very long bows which would counteract the production of a broad and powerful tone.

Three excellent sonatinas for young pupils.

Lachner’s music recalls much of the spirit of Haydn,—it is straightforward, healthy and genial in character. The influence of Schumann and the somewhat complicated rhythmical feeling introduced by many modern German composers into their otherwise technically easy pieces (rendering them difficult to be understood by young beginners who are not specially gifted) are here conspicuous by their absence.

The accompaniments to these beautiful Sonatas are the work of a true artist, who, with all the technical resources at his command, worked in reverential spirit with regard to the style and character of the old Master. The accompaniments are varied and very interesting in their wealth of contrapuntal device and figuration. The careful way in which all the ornaments are written out, and the bowing and fingering add still further to the value of this fine edition.

The same work in Score by Joachim and Chrysander:—

Livre III. Op. 5, Parte Prima: 6 Sonate a Violino Solo e Violone, o Cembalo. Parte Seconda: Preludii, Allemande, Correnti, Gighe, Sarabande, Gavotte e Follia a Violino Solo e Violone, o Cembalo. (4936c).
