A violinist without a strong technical background meets many obstacles performing standard violin literature. This document provides detailed guidelines on how to practice selected etudes effectively from a pedagogical perspective, rather than a historical or analytical view. The criteria for selecting the individual etudes are for the goal of accomplishing certain technical aspects and how widely they are used in teaching; this is based partly on my experience and background. The body of the document is in three parts. The first consists of definitions, historical background, and introduces different of kinds of etudes. The second part describes etudes for strengthening technical aspects of violin playing with etudes by Rodolphe Kreutzer, Pierre Rode, and Jakob Dont. The third part explores concert etudes by Wieniawski and Paganini.

Die Korrespondenzen waren bislang für die Wissenschaft unzugänglich. Die Kulturstiftung der Länder fördert den Ankauf mit 42.500 Euro. Dazu Prof. Dr. Markus Hilgert, Generalsekretär der Kulturstiftung der Länder: „Die Botschaft, dass diese mehr als 400 Schriftstücke, die zuvor in Privatbesitz waren, nun erstmals der Öffentlichkeit und der Wissenschaft zugänglich sind – jetzt bereits online verfügbar auf der Webseite der SLUB Dresden –, dürfte zahlreiche Musikwissenschaftlerinnen und Musikwissenschaftler aus der ganzen Welt dorthin locken. Die wertvollen Korrespondenzen sind nicht nur Zeugnisse von Clara Schumanns ausgedehnter Konzerttätigkeit quer durch den Kontinent. Sie sind auch Dokumente einer Musikepoche und bieten Einblicke in die Musikwelt Europas zwischen 1858 und 1896.“ Eigenhändiger Brief Clara Schumann an Ernst Rudorff, Moskau und Petersburg, April/Mai 1864, SLUB Dresden, Mscr.Dresd.App. 3222A,19 u. 20; Foto: © SLUB Dresden/Ramona Ahlers-Bergner Die Korrespondenzen zwischen Clara Schumann und Ernst Rudorff umfassen 215 handschriftliche Briefe der Pianistin und 170 Briefe ihres einstigen Schülers. Der Briefwechsel zwischen Brahms und Rudorff besteht aus 16 Briefen von Brahms und zwölf Gegenbriefen von Rudorff sowie ein Blatt mit Noten, beschrieben von beiden. Beide Briefwechsel wurden in das niedersächsische Verzeichnis national wertvollen Kulturgutes aufgenommen. Rund sechs Jahre (1844-1850) wohnte Clara Schumann gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann in Dresden.

Pablo de Sarasate ~ iii ~ ~ iv ~ À memória dos meus pais ~ v ~ ~ vi ~ Agradecimentos Concluir um doutoramento em Música e Musicologia na especialidade de Interpretação implica uma longa trajectória em que a conciliação do trabalho escrito com a prática do instrumento dificilmente se consegue fazer de modo regular e constante. Este trabalho não teria sido possível sem o apoio de diversas pessoas às quais deixo aqui os meus sinceros agradecimentos. Começo por agradecer à Professora Doutora Vanda de Sá, orientadora deste trabalho, a disponibilidade e o interesse, as sugestões que fez e a generosidade com que disponibilizou algumas fontes. Agradeço ainda a forma estimulante como contribuiu para o alargamento de algumas problemáticas iniciais, a amizade demonstrada e a disponibilidade para ler e aconselhar sobre o conteúdo das notas aos programas que elaborei para os recitais que realizei como parte deste doutoramento. Agradeço ao Professor Doutor Félix Andrievsky todos os conhecimentos que me transmitiu ao longo dos anos em que trabalhei com ele e sem os quais não teria sido possível realizar este trabalho. Agradeço também a disponibilidade que continua a ter para mim, cerca de trinta anos após o primeiro contacto, o estímulo, os conselhos e o interesse com que ouviu grande parte do repertório que interpretei nos recitais.

  • Ernst Rudorff
    Ernst Rudorff (b. Berlin, 18. January 1840 – d. Berlin, 31. December 1916) Symphony no. 2 in G minor, op. 40 Born in Berlin, Ernst Friedrich Karl Rudorff was a German conductor, composer, pianist and teacher whose mother knew Mendelssohn and studied with Karl Friedrich Zelter (notable for founding the Berlin Singakademie, amongst other achievements), while his father was a professor of law. Rudorff’s parents’ home was often visited by German Romantic composers of the day, and he numbered Johann Friedrich Reichardt and Ludwig Tieck among his ancestors. From 1850 he studied piano and composition with Woldemar Bargiel (1828–1897), Clara Schumann’s half-brother, who, having studied at the Leipzig Conservatory prior to Rudorff, became a noted teacher and composer emulating though not copying Robert Schumann’s musical style. From 1852 to 1854 Rudorff studied violin with Louis Ries (1830- 1913), a member of the Ries family of musicians, who settled in London in 1853, and he studied piano for a short while with Clara Schumann in 1858, who added him to her list of lifelong musical friends, a list which included Mendelssohn, Joseph Joachim and Brahms. Subsequently, from 1859 to 1860, Rudorff studied history and theology at the universities of Berlin and Leipzig and music at Leipzig Conservatory from 1859 to 1861, where Ignaz Moscheles (for piano) and Julius Rietz (for composition) were his teachers. He then (from 1861 to 1862) studied privately with Carl Reinecke (1824-1910) – who was in his time well connected to Mendelssohn, the Schumanns and
