As an excellent, versatile musician Hauchard loved his art and remains one of the greatest contributors to music education. The fourth volume of MethodicalStudy of Positions addresses the sixth and seventh positions in detail, through exercises which enable progression using intervals, scales, arpeggios, chromaticism and varying rhythms. All violinists should seek to purchase thisHauchard study series to ensure technical progression to a high level.
