Dounis was one of the most prominent violin pedagogues of the twentieth century. He was revered for his intense concern for the proper ergonomics of violin playing as well as the emphasis on the role of the brain, not just the fingers in appropriate violin practicing and playing. The eleven books that make up this anthology are the most comprehensive collection ever published of this master’s works. It includes clearly edited material as well as content that have not been in print for decades. This 290-page book features an insightful foreword to help string players understand the master’s approach as well as to give the reader a historical perspective. A must for the serious violin player!

D.C. Dounis was a genius with a keenly analytical mind and one of the most revered educators of recent previous generations. This collection is a valuable asset to any string player. Dounis knew and taught that good technique is a function of coordination of mind and body. Certainly he was not the first to know and apply this idea, but, the exercises in this volume take learning coordination much farther than any others.Being both a very accomplished violinist, violist and mandolin player and also an MD (specializing in neurology and psychiatry), he brought all of his knowledge to his teaching and the exercises in his books. This collection gives us valuable tools toward helping us overcome technical difficulties as we confront them. My only criticism of the collection is that it is not complete. The books which are left out also have value; adding them to future editions or publishing them in a second volume would be much appreciated.
