1It may be of interest to the young student, who studies Vieuxtemps' Fantasie Caprice, to know that the composer wrote this work just previous to his sixteenth birthday, while convalescing from a dangerous brain fever in Riga, Russia.
3SIXTH GRADE.
5The following study works may be put in this grade:
6Campagnoli: 7 Divertimentos (7 Positions) (Breitkopf and Haertel Edition).
7Alard, Op. 18. Études. (German Edition.)
8Vieuxtemps. 6 Concert Études.
9Dont. Gradus et Parnassum.
10Paganini. Études in 60 Variations. (Brietkopf and Haertel Edition.)
11Wieniawski, Op. 18. Études-Caprices (with 2nd Violin).
12Schradeck, Op. 1 — 25 Studies.
13The 7 Divertimentos by Campagnoli is a great work.
14The originality in giving a broad structure within so narrow a boundary as one single position, is striking and surpasses any attempts made by other composers in similar directions. The work requires broad bowing, plenty of tone and naturally very strong fingers.
15The 60 variations of Paganini need for the proper interpretation elegant and elastic bowing, rather than great technic. They acquaint the pupil fully with every style of bowing.
