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>
