The volume includes all major, melodic-minor and harmonic- minor scales in single notes, arpeggios, double stops, trlls, harmonics and left hand pizzicatos. Called “essential tools of violinists” by Heifetz, scales are an integral part of every violinist‘s practice regimen, the most efficient builder of virtuoso technique and the best material to keep the seasoned professional in peak shape. Heifetz felt that scales should be practiced with utmost concentration. Technical issues need be identified, analyzed and isolated so that problems may be solved by well-planned remedial work. Scales initially should be practiced legato, without varying bowings*. Once both scales and bowings are mastered independently, the combination along with varying dynamics and rhythms will provide an endless supply of study material. To solve individual problems and weaknesses, Heifetz taught that scale, bowing. dynamic, and rhythm combinations be devised by the players themselves to best address their own needs. Scales should be practiced with various fingerings to meet the demands of the repertoire where a familiar fingering or bowing may neither produce the tone color needed nor give sufficient clarity to the musical phrase. Fingering and bowing choices in repertoire should always be decided by musical considerations I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Danita Ng and Jason Poss for their enthusiastic, expert cooperation as well as to Professors Stephen Shipps and Sam Fischer for their valuable contribution in creating this document of Heifetz’ core work that can now be shared with violinists and string players everywhere.
