Violin Studies for the 21st Century

1. Lyric Study CM092
This study takes the note-row from Alban Berg's Lyric Suite of 1925-6. The row is 'combinatorial' - made up of two identical sets, as can be seen in bar 12 most clearly. The row is continuously permutated, very unlike Berg's original use of it! The study could be used as the basis for all sorts of different bowing exercises - a Kreutzer No. 2 equivalent. See below for the first page:

2.Hindemith Study CM095
Based on a short passage from ‘Nobilissime Visione’ this study uses bowing patterns of 2s, 3s and 5s, détaché, spiccato, staccato and ricochet to work at bowing techniques.
