Mazas – Complete violin method (Édition Maurice Senart, 1915)

Discover a superb copy of the Complete violin method of the Jacques Féréol Mazas, published in 1915 by the prestigious Éditions Maurice Senart.

This method, considered one of the pillars of violin pedagogy at the turn of the 20th century, is sought by collectors as well as musicians wishing to possess a historical version of the fundamentals of the French school.

This copy, in its large original format (approximately 34.5 × 27.5 cm), is complete with its 112 pages, perfectly legible, without lack, without annotations and keeping the separate typography of Senart editions. Inside is in very good condition, pages remain clean, well attached and pleasant to browse. The coverage has only one light circular print (probably due to the base of a bottle or object), a minor defect without any impact on the structure or integrity of the book, and without significant impact on the readability or educational value of the book.

This 1915 edition is also distinguished by the revision and the annotations of Gaston Marchet, enriching the original text of Mazas with practical observations and clear explanations on the holding of the violin, the bow, the support technique, as well as the elements of the Paganini system. A precise layout, detailed diagrams and quality impression reflect the editorial care characteristic of Senart publications.

A must for any music library worthy of this name, this book represents a rare opportunity to acquire an ancient, complete and remarkably preserved volume. A True Collection piece, at the crossroads between the history of the violin and the French editorial heritage.
