Classic Preparatory Exercises for Violin Double-Stops

Přípravná cvičení pro hru dvojhmatů op. 9 is a focused study collection by Otakar Ševčík, designed to prepare violinists for the technical demands of double-stop playing. Published by Bärenreiter Praha and revised by Norbert Kubát, this pedagogical edition contains 23 pages of exercises that develop the finger strength, independence, and intonation needed to play two notes simultaneously with confidence. The trilingual text in Czech, English, and German makes it a practical teaching resource across Europe.
