Product description

The publication Elementary Etudes by Josef Micky brings young violinists 42 simple etudes enriched by the accompaniment of second violins. The second violin complements the etudes in terms of harmonics and sometimes rhythmically. They create a support for intonation and force rhythmic play. They are intentionally written as simply as possible so that they can be played by a second, slightly more advanced student of the violin. The accompaniment can also be played on the piano.

Josef Micka (1903 - 1993) is one of the outstanding personalities of Czech violin pedagogy. He studied violin at the Prague Conservatoire and thanks to a scholarship he was able to study for another year at the École de musique in Paris. This stay was also very stimulating for his pedagogical activity, which in time became his main focus in life. After his return, he studied musicology and psychology at Charles University, and from 1939 he was a professor at the Prague Conservatoire, and in 1946-48 also at the Prague Academy of Performing Arts. Josef Micka is the author of many publications and articles on violin issues, the most famous and important of which are the methodical work "Playing the Violin" and "Violin School for Beginners", on which he worked with his daughter Magdalena Micka.
