Two of Flesch's books have been released some time ago and are now available:
|
- The original (German) edition of
Violin Fingering: its Theory and Practice published
- for the first time - and
enhanced with a comprehensive introduction concerning
Flesch's last years (1928 - 1944) by Prof. Dr. Kathinka Rebling,
musicologist and violin pedagogue of Berlin, in 1995.
This work can be considered as a dictionary of all fingering
situations. It's quite amazing and admirable how Flesch could
compile so many examples from the whole violin literature
in spite of his other activities as outstanding soloist and
pedagogue.
Publisher: Peter Lang, Frankfurt/Main. ISBN: 3-631-46281-6.

- A modern English re-translation of The Art of Violin
Playing, Book One by Prof. Eric Rosenblith, former Flesch pupil and
now Professor at the New England Conservatory, in March 2000.
This new re-edited and re-translated issue with a foreword
by Anne-Sophie Mutter is
based on the second German edition of 1929, which included a
number of new elements and revisions (by Flesch
himself) not added to the 1939 English
issue. It is truly remarkable how current Flesch's thinking is
more than 75 years after its initial publication. In spite of the
costs its production entailed, the publishers considered it worth
to issue a fresh translation so that understanding the wisdom
and concepts contained in Carl Flesch's book is no longer
hampered by rather archaic language mannerisms and expressions.
Publisher: Carl Fischer, New York.
