Twenty Brilliant and Characteristic Etudes, Op. 73

Charles Dancla (1817–1907) was a pupil of Baillot at the Paris Conservatoire and taught the violin there for thirty years. His Twenty Brilliant and Characteristic Etudes, Op. 73 are concert studies for the player who has the positions: each takes one difficulty (a bowing at the nut or the point, double stops, one position held throughout, the fingers stretched, the left hand's speed) and makes a piece of it, some with titles of their own, a Rêverie, a Pastorale.

This edition. The studies are engraved from an American edition of about 1895 with the instructions in English and German, and with all of its fingerings and bowings: ⊓ is a down-bow and V an up-bow, a 0 the open string. On a violin at the printed key the app shows the edition's fingerings; in another key, or on another instrument, it leaves them off.
