In Carl Flesch's opinion, the studies [by Sevcik] are the most important and time-saving material by which a modern violin technique can be achieved, but always provided that they are correctly applied. He compared them to medicine which, according to the amount taken can either kill or cure. To prevent a lethal dose and to update the study material, editor Klaus Hertel, on the one hand, reduced the vast number of variants to what he considers necessary while, on the other hand, he has extended it by means of new exercises penned by himself.
The edition shows the significance of Sevcik's educational undertakings also for our own day; through a purposeful selection, however, it aims to concentrate on the essentials.
