Jakob Dont, a Viennese violin pedagogue, wrote the 24 "Études et Caprices", Op. 35, which are violin solos without accompaniment and are considered essential classics. Published in 1880, the pieces consist of 48 pages and are edited by H. Berkley at a very advanced level. The etudes have been reworked by violinists such as Carl Flesch, Max Rostal, and Ivan Galamian in numerous new editions throughout the twentieth century.
These nine jazzy pieces have been specially written to help students work through technical difficulties with position changes in an fun and exciting way. Not only are they an excellent way to learn, they are perfect for end of term concerts too.
