Dont, Jakob - 15 Exercises for Violin from 30 Progressive Exercises, Op. 38 with optional Violin II - edited by Grieve - International Music Co

Besides his ubiquitous studies, Jakob Dont composed many works for violin and orchestra, duets and quartets, and even music for voice or chorus. "According to [E. Straeten], Dont's technically-focused writing is distinguished by its musical merits and his compositions were praised by the likes of Louis Spohr" (Preface). In these selected exercises from Dont's 30 Progressive Exercises, Op. 38, editor Tyrone Grieve highlights the impressive melodic qualities of the exercises, adding a splash of musicality for more than just entertainment. 

Grieve's pedagogically-motivated addition of a second violin part complements the technical part with fresh harmonic enrichments, varied articulations and rhythms, as well as musical variety. This graded selection of exercises retains the progressive qualities of the original, emphasizing the development of many beginning and intermediate techniques, such as martele, spiccato, left hand flexibility and stamina, string crossings, and more. Alternate sets of fingerings in both parts serve as a learning tool to aid and challenge players.

This imaginative and musical edition transforms "mere technical exercises" (Preface) into studies that are beneficial for solo players and satisfying for duets!
