Mazas, Studies Op. 36 Bk 1 For Violin (Peters)
Jacques Féréol Mazas (1782-1849) was a French composer, conductor, and violinist renowned for his exceptional teaching skills. He composed the 75 Études mélodiques et progressives, Op. 36, which is considered essential pedagogical material for young violin students. The first 30 etudes, known as Études spéciales, teach crucial skills such as position changes, bowing, finger techniques, and ornaments while emphasizing musicality and expressive abilities.
