This work includes analysis of Leopold Mozart's Violinshule, reviews of the book and letters written by Leopold Mozart. One of the challenges was the errors made during the translation, which make it difficult to understand what Leopold Mozart really wanted to say. It is always a problem with the translation of such treatises. The Translator should know not only the original language, but also its eighteen century version, and also be familiar with violin technique and its specifics during eighteenth century. Leopold Mozart's Violinshule gives us a better understanding of how violin was played during the eighteen century, which would be helpful for the historical performance. At the same time, it is the valuable source of information for every practical musician, violin teacher or even young student to understand better aspects of violin technique and aesthetic of musical performance in general.
