"The Essential Sevcik from Keiser Publishing is designed to be the only Sevcik method book that you will ever need to own. The concept of the present collection is based on the fact that Professor Sevcik never knew when to stop! Twelve Sevcik books are included in the one volume, completely organized by technical subject. The Op. 3 Bowing Variations and the Op. 8 Shifting/Scale Studies are presented in their entirety. Op. 1, Op. 2 and Op. 9 are presented in edited format featuring the portions of those exercises that the editors consider essential to a useful knowledge of the work of this great master of the violin."
