It cannot but be welcome to thoughtful teachers, who reflect on the method of our art, and I hope that your work will prove useful to many students.
Believe me, my dear Mr. Courvoisier, to be most faithfully yours,

Berlin, November 3rd, 1894.
The New and Revised Edition of "Technics of Violin Playing" issued by The Strad is the only authorised edition of my work. The several English editions which have all appeared without my knowledge are incomplete and faulty.
