Sitt

Hans Sitt (1850–1922), born Jan Hanuš Sitt in Prague, was a Bohemian violinist, violist, conductor, and composer who studied at the Prague Conservatory before building a career in Germany. He taught at the Leipzig Conservatory for many years, becoming one of its most respected violin professors and a colleague there of Adolf Brodsky. His compositions were primarily pedagogical: a large body of études, exercises, and technical studies for violin that became standard conservatoire material. His studies address technical demands at every level of development, giving him a continuing presence in violin teaching long after his concert career has been forgotten.
