About the 42 Etudes or Caprices

Rodolphe Kreutzer’s 42 Etudes or Caprices, written for the violin at the Paris Conservatoire around 1796 and on every string player’s stand since: bowing, intonation, trills, double stops and the long singing line.

Source: Arthur Seybold's revised edition (Anton J. Benjamin, Elite Edition, A.J.B. 7719).

The 42 Etudes or Caprices for other instruments

Engraved like a printed part

Each study is transposed and re-clefed into the instrument's range and engraved at a 7.5 mm staff with a printer's margins. A short study shares a page rather than leave half of one empty, and a long one opens on a spread: never a turn inside a study.

For you and your studio

Print as many copies as you need for yourself and your own students. The file itself is not to be passed on or posted.

Cut for double bass

Every study sits in and reads in its clef, so nothing has to be transposed at the stand.
