Rodolphe Kreutzer
42 Etudes for Violin solo
Published in early 1806, Kreutzer’s “40 Études ou Caprices” for violin – there are 42 today – are the product of his years-long employment at the Conservatoire de Paris and are the most comprehensive collection of studies from his quill. Their systematic and complete reappraisal of essential violin technique make them an indispensable tool of the trade for every serious student of the violin (conservatory level).
But Kreutzer’s etudes are not only played on the violin; they also belong to the daily bread of violists. The internationally acclaimed soloist and viola pedagogue Tabea Zimmermann has critically reviewed Kreutzer’s original from a violist’s perspective and made circumspect adjustments. With this edition, she gives aspiring violists the ideal basis for bringing their technique up to concert level!
