A great way for beginning violinists to practice and build up their technique this classic book of exercises has served generations of music students and their teachers. The studies provide practice in string crossing bow strokes shifting and finger patterns.A native and lifelong resident of Leipzig Germany Franz Wohlfahrt (1833–84) studied with one of the world's greatest violinists Ferdinand David. Wohlfahrt's Sixty Studies for the Violin  has remained a mainstay of the beginning violinist's education from the nineteenth century to today. The sixty etudes are divided into two volumes: Volume 1 focuses on studies in the firstposition and Volume 2 advances to third position employing more complex rhythms and bowings. Diligent practice of these studies will improve students' sight reading advance their rhythm skills and prepare them for a more difficult repertoire. Reprint of the G. Schirmer Inc.

Arranged for Mandolin-Franz Wohlfahrt (1833 ??? 1884) a violin teacher in Leipzig Germany wrote several series of etudes including 60 Studies for Violin Opus 45 from which this book of mandolin studies was derived. Originally composed for his own teaching purposes over the past 100 years Wohlfahrt???s etudes have become standard works for beginning violin study the world over. Adapted for mandolin in standard notation and tablature some violin techniques had to be altered to make these studies accessible to mandolinists. The resulting book contains progressively arranged compositional gems that include scale tremolo arpeggio and position studies plus grace notes double-stops and other techniques???all terrific sight-reading material at an intermediate to advanced level.

The present edition Op. 45 comprising 60 studies is of great didactic value already tried out by several generations of teacher-musicians. Owing to their tunefulness they are also enjoyed by students. While Wohlfahrt and other representatives of the older Violin school used the traditional order of teaching passing from 1st position to 3rd and leaving out 2nd which was probably considered more difficult the steady and successive teaching of all the positions has been thought advisable in the present edition of the studies. Thus after the 1st position the 2nd was introduced choosing those studies from the present opus number in which the fingering exclusively in thisposition was used.
