The six-volume edition of 'Systematische Violintechnik' [Systematic Violin Technique] covers all aspects of violin playing, thus providing the comprehensive groundwork for learning, teaching and performing musicians. The volumes contain a wealth of suggestions of how to edit technically demanding passages in musical masterpieces in a reasonable and perfect way. The simple idea to base the violin technique on the combination of changes of bowing, strings, fingers and position is developed systematically and, like a 'medicine cabinet for violinists', provides a collection of exercises that can be used purposefully. At the same time, 'Systematische Violintechnik' provides a complete and indispensable overview of all technical elements and their connections. An elaborate and field-tested practising material by Prof. Helmut Zehetmair (Mozarteum Salzburg) and Prof. Benjamin Bergmann (Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz).
Vol. 5 covers the coordination of two changes each (of bowing, strings, fingers and position).

Pachelbel's Canon is the common name for an accompanied canon by the German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel in his Canon and Gigue for 3 violins and basso continuo (German: Kanon und Gigue für 3 Violinen mit Generalbaß) (PWC 37, T. 337, PC 358), sometimes referred to as Canon and Gigue in D or Canon in D. Neither the date nor the circumstances of its composition are known (suggested dates range from 1680 to 1706), and the oldest surviving manuscript copy of the piece dates from the 19th century.

Pachelbel's Canon, like his other works, although popular during his lifetime, went out of style, and remained in obscurity for centuries. A 1968 arrangement and recording of it by the Jean-François Paillard chamber orchestra gained popularity over the next decade, and in the 1970s the piece began to be recorded by many ensembles; by the early 1980s its presence as background music was deemed inescapable. From the 1970s to the late 2010s, elements of the piece, especially its chord progression, were used in a variety of pop songs. Since the 1980s, it has also been used frequently in weddings and funeral ceremonies in the Western world.

The canon was originally scored for three violins and basso continuo and paired with a gigue. Both movements are in the key of D major. Although a true canon at the unison in three parts, it also has elements of a chaconne.

These Twenty-One Christmas Carols are a fun-to-play collection of well-known Christmas and holiday songs arranged in a flexible style, with a traditional feel and contemporary flavor. Each song is fairly short, but can be repeated as many times through the verses as desired. An optional introduction is notated at the end of every song.

Die sechsbandige ,,Systematische Violintechnik" behandelt alle Aspekte des Violinspiels und ermoglicht damit eine umfassende Grundlage fur lernende, lehrende und ausubende Musiker. .Die Bande enthalten reichhaltige Anregungen fur die vernunftige und einwandfreie Aufbereitung von technisch anspruchsvollen Passagen in Meisterwerken der Musik. Die einfache Idee, die Violintechnik auf der Kombination von Bogenwechseln, Saitenwechseln, Fingerwechseln und Lagenwechseln aufzubauen, wird systematisch entwickelt und stellt - vergleichbar einer ,,Hausapotheke fur Geiger" - ein Konzentrat zielgerichtet anwendbarer Ubungen zur Verfugung. Gleichzeitig verschafft diese Systematische Violintechnik einen vollstandigen und unverzichtbaren Uberblick uber alle Bestandteile der Technik und ihrer Zusammenhange.
