  • Harvey Samuel Whistler Jr. (September 7, 1907 – March 17, 1976) was an American violinist, editor, arranger, and composer of educational music studies for studio, homogenous, and heterogeneous class instrumental (strings and band) instruction. In all, Whistler and colleagues published around 83 known educational music collections and methods for instrumental ensembles. Among his best known works are his violin and viola etude books, "Introducing the Positions," "Preparing for Kreutzer," "From Violin to Viola," and "Developing Double Stops" all of which were published by the Rubank, Inc. music publishing company, and are still available through the Hal Leonard Co. The development of instrumental music education in American public school began around the turn of the twentieth century. Like many of his early- to mid-twentieth century contemporaries, Samuel Applebaum, Merle J. Isaac, Gilbert Waller, and others, Harvey S. Whistler sought to enhance instrumental music education around the United States by composing, arranging, and editing music educational resources and repertoire for aspiring young musicians. Whistler's instrumental works are known for their repurposing of nineteenth-century solo instrumental etudes for heterogeneous and homogenous instrumental classrooms and elastic scoring. His "Introducing the Positions for violin" remains one of the most recognized shifting etude books in the violin literature. (en)
