Scales for Strings. String Builder: Third and Fifth Position. He gave me a very firm technical foundation which still serves me well to this day. We never even looked at String Builders; we studied the etudes and works of the masters, and most thoroughly I might add.
He was a masterful pedagogue, in my opinion. I also started violin with the string builder series in the 's. I had no idea. Wouldn't expect a difference in last names. His original last name was of course Applebaum, but his teacher Efrem Zimbalist who in addition to being a top virtuoso, was savy enough to know that to make it in America people had to remember your name!
So, to the credit of Zimbalist's suggestion, he changed to Tree which I guess is as good a name as any! If you want Marina I will gladly post the excerpt from Roy Malan's way cool bio of Zimbalist in which Tree tells the story about his name gotta find the book first, messy room , you won't want to miss it, cool story!! Don't worry about copyright Laurie, I'll cite the author and everything.
Thanks for the info! I went to JMU for a while. Samuel Applebaum's birth and death years? I've googled and wiki'ed and can't find. Applebaum published is mind-boggling. I have made great use in PS of String Builder and the interchangeable chamber music books.
I have become interested in reading more of the peragogical works of various past masters, including Applebaum's stuff. Never seemed to find time while at PS : , but keeping the brain working is a good thing for retirees, however young : ,and my little band of private students may benefit. I agree that there is no reliable biography of him, and there should be. This would be an excellent project for some bright graduate student.
And Michael Tree's his son, yes; Michael's quartet Guarneri went into retirement not too long ago. I took lessons in his home in Bloomfield not Bloomington , I think it was. His wife fed me chicken soup, and in the studio I had to sit to take lessons: I'm so tall 6'3" and my bow hit the ceiling.
The studio walls were covered with photos of eminent people and one wall was covered with shelves full of music, the long wall of the studio. He was very kindly and told me I was going to be an artist. When I started making money as a freelancer, though, I quit school and did not graduate until many years later, and then in Houston. But my original contact with him was that my standpartner in the Tulsa Philharmonic was a personal friend of Applebaum's and wrote me a letter of introduction.
But I think you're thinking of Bloom field , not Bloomington. Bloomfield is a town in New Jersey, although by the time I came along in the early 70's I seem to remember the Applebaums living in Maplewood hence the concert listed above being in Maplewood. They're not very far apart. I miss those old Erie Lackawanna trains. They were classy-looking, unlike the NJ Transit cattle cars that overtook them Yes, and it was a nice walk from the train station to his house.
Sorry to hear the trains have changed. New York Times. So he died sometime in that period, Can't find an obituary. I believe he died when I was 12, so that would be somewhere around Someone should find a way to reissue them as they have a lot of info.
I love that book so much :. Unfortunately, they were the only ones there, but fortunately one has the article about Heifetz, together with an interview. I don't suppose they're still in print. Reprinting would probably be out of the question financially, but what about placing digital copies on the web? These books are too valuable a resource to be available to college libraries and collectors only. Various volumes of Applebaum's "The Way They Play" are available there, but the pricing is strictly in collectors' country, and well out of the range of most players.
I only have six of the volumes in my library myself, and they're a popular read with my students when they're waiting around at my studio. Since the company that originally issued the books is now defunct, I wonder who holds the copyrights on the material? My guess, and it is no more than that, is that the copyright in Samuel Appelbaum's publications now resides with his estate.
