Summary of This Method
"Études et Caprices pour violon solo op. 35" is intended for highly advanced violinists seeking to consolidate their instrumental mastery through a comprehensive, demanding, and musical journey. Jakob Dont, a Viennese violinist and major 19th-century pedagogue, offers 24 study pieces that are both technical and artistic, written to refine the essential fundamentals required for the concert repertoire: intonation stability, articulation, position mastery, left-hand flexibility, as well as precision and variety of bow strokes.
Composed between 1840 and 1849 and later revised and compiled in 1880 by the composer himself, these caprices have enjoyed wide dissemination, often through revised editions. Here, the G. Henle urtext edition highlights the original text, accompanied by Dont's authentic violin fingerings and bowings, while benefiting from a particularly clear presentation. The edition was prepared by Dominik Rahmer, with contributions from Antje Weithaas, an internationally renowned violinist and pedagogue, who reviewed the entire work and added supplementary indications and practical advice, carefully completing some fingerings. An excellent resource for conservatory study, exam preparation, and deepening solo violin technique.
