For this very reason I always found Edmund Singer's "Daily studies" (free on imslp) easier to go through - he combines Schradieck and Sevcik and starts with the major pattern, then introduces the minor one. Also, there are fewer exercises, so it doesn't look as overwhelming!
but if i go with Singer's studies i am ok not going with either schradiek and sevcik? or i MUST go to these books one day even if i did the entirety of singer's studies?
Thank you for this. I continue to struggle with whole steps between 3rd and 4th finger in first position. This provided some insight and will help direct my practice on this shortcoming of mine.
I live in New Zealand but my violin teacher is a very old-school German man who has just started me on Ševčík and he said essentially the same thing you just said - if I completed every part of his books I would be very accomplished!
My teacher went to conservatory in Kiev in the late 1930s. Sevcik had a reputation for not having a good sound, to the point that a way to insult a poor player, without that person knowing it, was to say 'you sound like Sevcik!' Just passing that along, it may have been made up by students who did not like working so hard on his exercises. : )
Merci pour vos explications ! Je pense que c'est l'opus 6 de Sevcik qui est le mieux approprié pour débuter un élève, en l'adaptant, bien entendu à chacun. Peut-être qu'il était sensible à l'adage "qui peut le plus peut le moins"? En ce qui concerne le rapprochement des deux premiers doigts ce n'est pas vraiment un problème si on est très attentif à l'écartement des phalanges du haut quand les doigts sont appuyés. L'index arrivant sur la corde légèrement sur le côté, comme pour les guitaristes, ou pour les grandes extensions... Dans ce cas on respecte l'ouverture totale de la main gauche, et non la fermeture les deux premiers doigts, comme vous le montrez avec votre main. Pas facile d'être clair en quelques mots. Dominique Hoppenot, dans son livre "le violon intérieur" l'explique en détail. Joyeuses Pâques à toutes et à tous!
Thank you! That was really insightful. I definitely agree that one tends to drift off when doing endless repeats. They don't make any sense then of course. Also learned today that I've been pronouncing these names wrong my entire life.
I had a teacher that said that if you did the hard pattern good first, the others would be easier. Not sure about that, but maybe it was the same mentality...
Thank You! This practising as a robot and letting thaughts fly.... thank You for reminding.... I know it at all instruments and all students I ever had 😂

That looks really nice! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Mrs. Bushkova ! I am an intermediate player but I always go back to those exercices. Your insights are very helpful ! :)
You're so welcome!
I'm so grateful to you that you share your knowledge!
You are so welcome

Thank you for your comment! It is interesting. I never heard any personal details about Sevcik :)
My teacher started me on Sevcik aswell. It can be boring, it is not easy to always concentrate. Thanks for the tips.

Great inside, thank you, professor.
Bravo! Thank you for teaching us the correct pronunciation 😊 and thank you for your videos!
Thanks Professor Julia. This was very interesting!

Thank you from Egypt!
Thank you for this helpful information. I’ll apply to my little students here in Brazil.
So i can't do all Schradiek and no Sevcik, or all Sevcik and no Schradiek. i must keep doing something from both?
Think you 🥰🥰🥰
Now this is a teacher!
Thank you teacher!
The house deco is nice! The red ones
I am so glad :)

Unfortunately, it is not reasonable. We start walking before we start running. First - the easier; then the harder.
Thank You! This practising as a robot and letting thaughts fly.... thank You for reminding.... I know it at all instruments and all students I ever had 😂
Thank you so much for this eye-opening video, prof. Bushkova. What about the E string exercise with a flat on the pinky? Is it a good pattern?
Yes, on any string.
I always thought it was Schradieck and Sevcik together.
Hahaha - nice :)
Wonderld..
