Kreutzer Piano Pack - MP3 Piano Accompaniments for the 42 Studies.

One night, when I was browsing through IMSLP.org's violin archives, I came across the piano accompaniments for the Kreutzer Studies.   I thought, "Wow, this would be really fun to play through the studies and hear them in a different context than ever before.  I bet this would be useful for my students as well.  They'll match intonation, work to be able to play the whole piece through at an even tempo, maybe play the etudes like real music..."

Then it hit me that it would be a monumental task to convince any pianist to practice and rehearse them all.  
So, I decided to input all of the piano parts into my music production software (Cubase and a professional Steinway D Synthesizer).  I couldn't be happier with the result.  

Click here to sample my complete Kreutzer Piano Pack.  All of the studies (aside from Cadenza etude, #23) have piano accompaniment files available for download at various tempi.    

Enjoy!

    Hi!  I'm Matthew Zerweck.  
    I love reading all of the old and new violin pedagogy manuals in my spare time.  Capet, Leonard, Auer, Galamian, Dounis, Havas, Fischbach, Rolland, Kempter, Gerle, Fischer, Ricci, Flesch Hauck Siegfrid, Cutter, etc.  Those teachers all thought that by simplifying, using the right language, the right tone, addressing the right problems, asking the right questions, they could more easily overcome the profound struggles of great violin playing.  I'm convinced that violin playing and teaching is still in its infancy, and that there's still a lot of room for improvement and clarification.  Teaching in the 21st century, the age of the Internet. can be done better than ever before. 

    I Iove reading posts on Suzuki Blogs, on violinist.com, and on reddit.com/r/violinist.  I'd like to use this blog as an opportunity share my own experiences and struggles with the violin, especially as it relates to teaching the violin
