With Folding Plates, containing Fifteen Ill.u.s.trations.
LETTER FROM DR. JOACHIM.
[COPY.]
MY DEAR MR. COURVOISIER: I have read the book on Violin Playing you have sent me, and have to congratulate you sincerely on the manner in which you have performed a most difficult task, _i.e._, to describe the best way of arriving at a correct manner of playing the violin.
It cannot but be welcome to thoughtful teachers, who reflect on the method of our art, and I hope that your work will prove useful to many students.
Believe me, my dear Mr. Courvoisier, to be most faithfully yours,
JOSEPH JOACHIM.
Berlin, November 3rd, 1894.
