Jacques Féréol Mazas (1782-1849) was a French composer, conductor, violinist and pedagogue, and many of his compositions were studies and methods for young violin and viola students. His three progressive volumes of violin études, 75 Études mélodiques et progressives, Op. 36 - Volume 1 (Études spéciales), Volume 2 (Études brillantes) and Volume 3 (Études d'artistes) - are considered classics of violin pedagogy and have been in constant use by violin students and teachers since they were published.
Of the numerous works written for violin, the 75 Etudes of Mazas occupy a position of eminent importance. The exercises constitute together with the classical studies of Kreutzer and Rode ideal material for purposes of violin study.
