Abstract
-
Following the revolution of 1917, the center of Russian violin playing and teaching shifted from St. Petersburg to Moscow, where violinists such as Lev Tseitlin, Konstantin Mostras, and Abraham Yampolsky established an influential pedagogical tradition. Founded on principles of scientific inquiry and physiology, this tradition became known as the Moscow Violin School, a component of the larger Russian Violin School. Yuri Yankelevich (1909--1973), a student and assistant of Yampolsky, was strongly influenced by the teachers of the Moscow School. Yankelevich taught at the Moscow Conservatory from 1936 to 1973 and contributed a significant amount of methodological work to the pedagogical literature. His texts document the pedagogical principles of the Moscow Violin School, specifically addressing the psycho-physiological aspects of violin playing and teaching. Despite its importance, Yankelevich's scholarly work is largely unknown outside of Russia due, in part, to a lack of English translations of his texts. This dissertation examines Yankelevich's pedagogy, largely drawing from his posthumously published book, Pedagogicheskoe nasledie [Pedagogical heritage]. Yankelevich's work is placed in context of the traditions of the Moscow Violin School. Also included is an original translation (from the original Russian to English) of Yankelevich's article "O pervonachal'noi postanovke skripacha" [On the initial positioning of the violinist].
