This thesis explores Lucien Capet's bowing technique and identifies connections to contemporary violin bowing practices. It includes a developed biography of Capet; a review of the Capet treatise; a historical analysis linking Capet's bowing technique back to his predecessor Baillot and forward to the present day; a detailed comparative analysis that determines Capet's pedagogical connections to Ivan Galamian and Simon Fischer; and an examination of the ramifications of the results including the the finding that Capet's technique is a viable and important component to developing refined contemporary bowing technique.

In this thesis I have studied the so-called “Ševčík method” based on the example of his 40 Variations, op. 3. I’ve tried to achieve a deeper understanding of what the exercises are good for and how they work. I took a closer look at Otakar Ševčík’s life and work history, I also investigated other’s opinions and judgements of the “method” that were appearing in press and literature during the last hundred years. The practical part of my project is the experiment that I’ve put myself through. I was diligently practicing 40 Variations every day, trying to improve my technique and learn by playing how to apply those exercises in real life. As a result of this process I’ve developed my bow technique and gained better understanding of how to use Ševčík’s exercises. / <p>The sounding part of the work consists of the following recordings:</p><p>1)Mozart before 2) Mozart after 3) Rossini before 4) Rossini after</p><p>The Corona virus situation spring semester 2020 has caused limitations in the recording possibilities. The recordings may be supplemented. </p>

Det övergripande syftet med detta examensarbete är att med ljudinspelning dokumentera de 25 etyderna av J. H. Roman från ca 1730. Dessa etyder är mig veterligen inte tidigare inspelade i sin helhet, och därmed är min förhoppning att kunna bidra till en bredare spridning av dessa för många helt okända etyder av ”Den Svenska Musikens Fader”.  För att nå uppsatsens syfte analyseras processen med instudering, tolkning och dokumentation. Resultatet är att 25 etyder av Roman är inspelade och att de kommer tillgängliggöras på youtube. De 25 etyderna är sinsemellan olika och kräver olika saker av musikern. Etyderna rymmer stor potential för breddat och fördjupat lärande av olika violinspecifika tekniker. Etyderna är också och framför allt musikaliskt tilltalande och vackra. Uppsatsen pekar på att J. H. Roman förtjänar en självklar plats i violinrepertoaren. / The overall aim of this bachelor thesis is to document the 25 etudes by J. H. Roman from around 1730 with audio recording. To my knowledge, these etudes have not previously been recorded in their entirety, and thus my hope is to be able to contribute to a wider acknowledgement of these to many completely unknown etudes by ”The Father of Swedish Music”. In order to achieve the aim of the essay, the process of studying, interpretation and documentation is analyzed. The result is that 25 etudes by Roman are recorded and that they will be made available on YouTube. The 25 etudes differ from each other and require different things from the musician. The etudes hold great potential for broadened and deepened learning of various violin-specific techniques. The etudes are also and above all musically appealing and beautiful. The essay points out that J. H. Roman deserves an obvious place in the violin repertoire. / <p>Innehåller länkar till youtube med inspelningar av Romans 25 etyder.</p>
