Martin Wulfhorst – The Orchestral Violinist’s Companion, Volumes 1 + 2

Description:
Martin Wulfhorst’sThe Orchestral Violinist’s Companion is a groundbreaking, two-volume guidebook crafted for professional violinists preparing for or already active in orchestral careers. With over 480 pages and examples drawn from more than 300 orchestral works spanning symphony, opera, oratorio, operetta, and ballet, this resource bridges the gap between academic training and real-world performance demands.

The book offers practical and psychological tools for every stage of an orchestral violinist’s journey—from audition preparation to long-term physical and mental health in the profession. Topics range from practice methods, sight-reading, and technical development, to performance psychology, ensemble skills, orchestral notation, and managing the social aspects of orchestral life.

Hundreds of carefully annotated musical examples, extensive exercises, thematic bibliographies, and a glossary make this book an indispensable reference for students, educators, and working musicians.

Performance Tips:
Use the annotated excerpts to refine audition repertoire and build technical agility. Pay special attention to the notation and rhythm chapters for real-world rehearsal efficiency.

About the Author:
Martin Wulfhorst is a seasoned orchestral violinist and professor with decades of experience performing and teaching in Europe. His writing reflects a deep understanding of both the musical and interpersonal challenges of orchestral life.
