His lightning career as a violinist led him into Napoleon's private orchestra and as a virtuoso across Europe before an accident put an end to his solo career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a violin teacher, he taught in private aristocratic circles, then at the later Conservatoire and laid the foundations for a comprehensive methodology and didactics. For his teaching activities, Kreutzer wrote his 40 Études ou caprices (two were later added by another) in 1796.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe present urtext edition is based on the first edition and contains the original, occasionally surprisingly different musical text with the original fingering, with a 'modern' setting being added. Even if Henryk Wieniawski once admitted: 'They are much more difficult than most violinists think', these studies form an indispensable part of all violin studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45723970404662,"sku":null,"price":13.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/9402\/3478\/products\/SCHED20340_1.jpg?v=1695869938","url":"https:\/\/southlondonmusicshop.co.uk\/products\/kreutzer-42-etudes-caprices-violin-ed","provider":"South London Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
