Wohlfahrt's Foreword to Opus 45 :
The study of the violin presents particular difficulties for beginners which are often the cause of a sudden drop in the pupil's enthousiasm and ambition, even before he has mastered the first rudiments.

The blame for this situation is frequently laid on the teacher, who is labelled incapable or negligent, without considering the fact that the pupil began his studies without the slightest notion not only of the difficulties to be encountered, but also of the regular and assiduous practice time indispensable for surmounting them.

It is thus important to smooth these first asperities by showing their utility and making them agreeable; to this end my Violin Method was published and the present Exercises have been written, which latter may be considered as forming a supplement to the former.

If practised with care and intelligence, they will serve as a solid foundation for the technique of any player ambitious to become an artist.
