Product description
Ševcík’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 Ševcík’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 Ševcík’s posthumous papers have also been taken into account.
Jaroslav Foltýn, violin professor at Prague Conservatory (like Ševcík at one time), has provided an accurate methodological commentary.
Otakar Ševčík (1852-1934) was Czech violinist and pedagogue. He is the creator of his own teaching method with which he has achieved unique results and acclaim, and in the field of his activity he can be considered one of the greatest figures in the world. Ševčík became, in the true sense of the word, a "world" teacher of violinists of various nationalities, who conquered and continue to conquer the world with their art.
