He was a Spohr player par excellence, and I have never found his equal in the playing of Spohr's Gesangsscene. With him I studied Kreutzer, Rode, Fiorillo; and to know Halir as a teacher was to know him at his best; since as a public performer great violinist as he was he did not do himself justice, because he was too nervous and high-strung.
It is rather a series of study pieces for the special development of certain difficult phases, musical and technical, of the violinist's art, than a method. They are still valid, and any one who can appreciate the ideals of the Gesangsscene, its beautiful cantilene and pure serenity, may profit by them.
