Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand and compare the thoughts of two of the most important violin pedagogues of the 20th Century, Carl Flesch and Ivan Galamian, and investigate their influence nowadays in videos available on the internet. Therefore, we will initially summarize the main ideas presented by the two authors regarding general, technical and interpretative aspects in the books "The Art of Violin playing " (Carl Flesch, 1923) and "The Art of Violin Playing and Teaching" (Ivan Galamian, 1962), making a comparison between their pedagogical proposals. Then, we will examine pedagogical materials posted on the internet by professors of recognized competence, observing the same aspects and parameters discussed in the two books, verifying how this more recent material relates to the techniques suggested by Carl Flesch and Ivan Galamian.
