Baerenreiter Verlag

Composer: Otakar Sevcik
Editor: Jaroslav Foltyn
Format: Book
Instrumentation: Violin

Sevcik's complete work covers every area of violin technique, from the most elementary level and special exercises concerning individual technical problems right through to analytical studies of the standard concertos. Today, more than 130 years later, his "Violin School" still numbers among the most important teaching methods for violinists.

The new edition of Sevcik's "School of Violin Technique" op. 1 comprises four books and is essentially based on the first edition published at the beginning of the twentieth century. Other sources from Sevcik's posthumous papers have also been taken into account.

Jaroslav Foltyn, violin professor at Prague Conservatory (like Sevcik at one time), has provided an accurate methodological commentary.
