"...this deluxe edition of Kreutzer's Etudes is magnificent. The combination of outstanding performances, excellent study guide, insightful comments, and user-friendly design makes it one of the most useful and needed works of its kind. I will gladly recommend this to my students and fellow colleagues."

Mark Zinger, Professor of Violin, De Paul University, Chicago

"This fresh edition of the Kreutzer studies provides a thorough, creative and engaging approach to one of the cornerstones of string-playing pedagogy. [The] introduction . . . gives a clear and thoughtful outline of the fundamental aspects of playing that the studies explore, as well as emphasising the importance of approaching them in a musical way and encouraging active problem-solving on the part of the pupil . . . [It includes] a detailed chart, which is useful in pinpointing the various aspects of playing that can be the focus of each study.

"The book's spacious layout addresses a frequent problem of older editions by providing the teacher with ample room to write explanatory notes and additional or alternative exercises.

". . . a useful resource for students . . . and this edition is excellent for teachers."

Nathaniel Vallois, The Strad (Oct. 2007)

"This stunning volume . . . is indispensable to every violinist, whether performer, teacher or student . . ."
