SevcíkÂ's Oeuvre covers every area of violin technique, from the elementary level to special exercises on individual technical problems all the way to analytical studies of the best-known violin concertos. One of his most important pedagogical works is his opus 8, written between 1892 and 1895. This volume of exercises is devoted to changes of position and preparatory studies for scales over three octaves (in 3rds, 6ths, octaves and 10ths). Our new edition is based essentially on the original print, issued in the early 20th century, and on sources from SevcíkÂ's posthumous papers. The editor, Jaroslav Foltýn, is professor of violin at Prague Conservatory, a position once held by Sevcík himself.

Exercises in position changes and scales throughout 3 octaves for relatively advanced pupils. The Sevcik Viola Studies are a superb collection of exercises to help develop a student's bowing style, accuracy, rhythms and wrist speed/strength.

Otakar Sevcik's single-volume Forty Variations for the Violin occupies a special position in his extensive oeuvre of teaching material. Here he follows up on his systematic 'step by step' work for the right hand, which he covered in detail in his previous op. 2. Nonetheless, this volume can be used as a self-contained unit, enlivening the violinistÂ's daily regimen and offering a concise and highly effective method for mastering the right hand, from elementary exercises to virtuoso technique. The editor, Pavel Kudelasek, is a teacher at the Prague Conservatory.

Otakar Sevick was a Czech musician and violin teacher who wrote many studies, methods and teaching tools. Many of which are still important today. For instance his violin methods are still useful a century later and his studies remain second to none. This volume of 40 studies for right-hand technique includes exercises in string-crossing, arpeggios, triplets, changing bowing styles, staccato playing, legato playing and more.
