“Melodic Studies is the third in a series of three volumes of studies for the Violin. Compiled in 1878 by Auguste Samie, the studies allow students to work on basic technical concepts, such as articulation, bowing and rhythm. The 15 exercises in Melodic Studies each helpfully contain a title indicating the focus of the exercise, followed by clear instructions regarding technique. Moreover, this edition of 60 Studies is revised and annotated by Georges Catherine, popular contemporary violinist and arranger. Edits by Catherine include bowing marks, fingerings, articulation, dynamics and performance directions. Containing input by two prolific figures of the Violin, Melodic Studies is an obligatory guide for beginners of the instrument. &rdquo.

“Maurice Hauchard (1870-1957) was a French violinist and composer. As a minor composer, often in the shadow of his contemporary, Maurice Ravel, much of Hauchard's music is not widely known. However, his Methodical Study of Positions for Violin remains popular to improve violinist's technique. As an excellent, versatile musician Hauchard loved his art and remains one of the greatest contributors to music education. The fourth volume of Methodical Study of Positions addresses the sixth and seventh positions in detail, through exercises which enable progression using intervals, scales, arpeggios, chromaticism and varying rhythms. All violinists should seek to purchase this Hauchard study series to ensure technical progression to a high level.&rdquo.
