Cultural milestone:  Carl Flesch`s  "The Art of Violin Playing" is  now available in Armenian

ArmInfo. For the first time in the history of Armenian performing arts, the work of Austro-German violinist and music educator Carl Flesch, "The Art of  Violin Playing," has been translated into Armenian.

This fundamental textbook for violin training offers a rigorous,  systematic approach to developing violin technique-from sound  production to finger and bow flexibility and psychological  preparedness.

First published in 1923, it remains a mandatory text for violin  education and is widely used in music schools worldwide. By decision  of the project sponsors, the Armenian translation of "The Art of  Violin Playing" will be provided free of charge to conservatories,  music colleges, and schools in Armenia. The Armenian edition was  published under a licensing agreement with the Berlin-based  publishing house Ries & Erler. The project was implemented by the  Primavera Foundation of Armenia in collaboration with the Armenian  National Philharmonic Orchestra.

To mark the publication,  a special concert titled "The Art of Violin  Playing"  will take place on December 24 at the Aram Khachaturian  Concert Hall. The evening will feature  violinists Maximilian Simon  and Aram Badalyan, the editor of the new German edition and the  translator of the Armenian edition. Under the baton of Eduard  Topchjan, the Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra program will  accompany the soloists in a program featuring the violin concertos by  Erich Korngold and Max Bruch, as well as the overture to Glinka's  opera "Ruslan and Lyudmila."
