In this invaluable volume, Yehudi Menuhin describes his approach to music and its practice.

p.2 "DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM "
"... a sense of subtle shifts and balances... "

"... subtlety knows no limit ... "

"... violin playing is that procedure by which the body becomes aware of itself and its internal harmony... not intellectually but via sensation ."

"... through becoming aware of the subtle checks and balances which when properly understood permit ease of technique."

"Once the student learns to FEEL then the way is open to move to even more subtle planes."

"This progress to ever subtler sensation in performance is fed by corresponding development of sensitivity in emotional response."
