Well known for his style of bowing his splendid tone and the clearness of his execution French violinist teacher and composer Rodolphe Kreutzer (1766-1831) composed nineteen Violin concertos and forty operas during his life time and is perhaps best known for his 42 Études or Capriccios 1796. Born in Versailles Kreutzer was initially taught by his German father who was a musician in the royal chapel with later lessons from Anton Stamitz. He quickly rose to fame as a Violinist appearing as a soloist until 1810. In 1798 when at Vienna in the service of the French ambassador Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte (later King ofSweden and Norway) Kreutzer the made the aquaintance of Beethoven and became the dedicatee of his Violin Sonata No. 9 Op. 47 (1803). Kreutzer however never played the work declaring it unplayable and incomprehensible. From 1795 until 1826 Kreutzer taught at the Conservatoire de Paris where he became co-author of the Conservatoire's Violin method with Pierre Rode and Pierre Baillot. He was also leader of the Paris Opera for a time. This volume contains Kreutzer's 42 Études which are to this day considered fundamental studies for student Violinists.

Forty selected studies for the violin in two books critically revised by Sam Franko. These Etudes by Mazas rank among the best material for practice which the literature of the violin possesses and have become indispensable for the development of violin technique. They have been arranged in systematic order and especial care has been bestowed on the fingering bowing and the division of the bow.

Charles Dancla (1817-1907) is considered to be the last great representative of the French Violin School. He knew, in a special way, how to implement the principle no music without technique, no technique without music in his teaching material. This is the case in his easy melodic studies. These studies are perfectly suited for young beginners after the second year, but also for adult players, refreshers or outsiders. Most of them can be effectively used as little performance pieces, providing an excellent foundation for every advanced étude or concert piece. Each study is preceded by new or revised exercises which either deal with specific problems relating to the playing technique or present the tonal material of the respective study in a condensed, playful form. Those who prefer Dancla's somewhat easier original preliminary exercises will find them in the appendix.

Carl Flesch (1873-1944) was a Jewish-Hungarian violinist composer editor and pedagogue. As well as teaching some of the finest violinists of the day he is also remembered for editing and publishing many obscure and underperformed works that might otherwise have been lost from the repertoire. Flesch's Etudesamling (Studies and Exercises) for Solo Violin was first published in 1921 as his opus 2 while the composer was living with his family in Berlin. They are among the finest Etudes available for the instrument: challenging enough to be educational and worthwhile but not so hard that the student becomes disheartened.
