Fourteen original, imaginative studies for solo violin, designed to lead on from elementary studies to those of Mazas and Kreutzer. Each piece concentrates one or two aspects of technique, and the whole set covers a wide range of left and right hand skills, including spiccato bowing, string-crossing, moto perpetuo, cantabile and easy double stopping.
Teachers and students will find this invaluable yet light-hearted collection both enjoyable and stimulating.
