The mind of a string player. – This book has excellent ideas for arranging and composing music, but it goes beyond that. It puts you in the mind of string players. Are you a guitarist or a pianist trying to write music for string quartet? Here you will find out exactly how to communicate with a violinist and a cellist to get the sounds you want to hear.
K. E (verified owner) –
Won’t teach you arranging, just about strings – A decent survey but nothing in depth on how to arrange.

Good, but simple – I’d give it 3.5 stars. There seems to be a plethora of string resources readily available that go in-depth in regards to articulations. This book is no exception. I think it’s a little better than some of those resources in that the examples of articulation are actually played on real instruments (not sample libraries) and given in a musical context (not just everything playing a C major scale). It was useful to show several different example of the same phrases with different bowing techniques, accents, legato. I’m still looking but I’ve yet to find an arranging for strings resources that really breaks down compositions and analyses what rules or articulations etc. make it work to give some context to general principles.

Mind of a violinist – This is a fascinating read. Emphasis is on communicating (via score) with classically trained string players. The framing device is “what will a string player do without instruction, and how do you indicate the sound you wanted instead?”
C. I (verified owner) –
Not in standard Kindle format – Content-wise, this book seems good. But the Kindle version is not in standard Kindle format. Instead it appears to be a scanned version of the text with all the sizing limitations typically encountered in viewing a PDF book on Kindle.

Beginner only – Not an interesting read for intermediate or advanced composers.

OK. maybe a 4 1/2 – Nicely written and with lots of general interest to keep you reading. This is not easy for a focus topic like arranging for a particular family of instruments. There are plenty of musical examples and the online audio examples give you a good idea of the technique being studied. The reason for 4 stars is just a personal thing with me, who was found wanting more detail. Part of the reason is that the book covers all types of playing strings and not just contemporary/classical like I am interested in. OK, maybe a 4 1/2!
