Eight exemplary figures of violin teachers
Galpérine Alexis

Alexis Galpérine offers us eight portraits of his teachers, combining personal recollections with an analysis of instrumental and aesthetic principles. A journey across three continents takes us to the Schola Cantorum and the Conservatoire (Lily Bach, Line Talluel, Marie-Thérèse Ibos, Roland Charmy, Pierre Amoyal), to New York, to the Juilliard School (Ivan Galamian), to Geneva (Henryk Szeryng) and to Jerusalem (Sacha Bernstein). In addition, three accounts recount visits to Salvatore Accardo, Zino Francescatti, and Dominique Hoppenot.
