Violin Studies – 100 Most Essential Studies for Violin Tuition

Edition for Violin solo.
Difficulty: advanced.

From the series »Violinissimo«.

Yet another book of violin studies? Yes – but not just full of studies by one composer, nor focusing on just one aspect of technique (such as position changes or bowing exercises), but one that brings together studies dealing with various challenges, by all sorts of composers. Some of the »classics« feature here, of course: studies by Kayser, Kreutzer, Dont and Mazas appear alongside less well-known pieces that will bring a little variety to the routine of lessons. Any selection will have to leave some things out – dealing with specific problems, intensive focus on a particular subject – but this book offers studies on fundamental aspects of violin technique encountered at intermediate level. Even here, of course, the spectrum is broad, from simple legato to more complex double-stopping studies. That means, however, that this book can be a »companion« to students as they progress over considerable time.
