As the first two volumes extensively cover the first position of violin, this volume concentrates on the third and second positions. Bang begins the book with the third position, as it is often taught before the second by serious violin pedagogues. Equipped with detailed explanations and illustrations, the third edition in this method series also provides the student with original exercises and suggestions by Leopold Auer.
