Etüden nach Kreutzer is a recreation of five of the etudes from the series of forty-two composed by the French violinist Rodolphe Kreutzer. Ever since I started composing, I have always been attracted by the scholastic material I had worked on as a violinist and, in one way or another, I have used it in my works. The first time was in 1965, when I was inspired by Sevcik's exercises to create the two-movement Allegro-Studio.

This time my source has been Kreutzer, from whom I have chosen five of his best-known studies: Nos. 2, 4, 9, 29 and 30, all five very different from each other and each with its own technical particularity. I consider this score as a nostalgic pastime, if you will, in which I have been able to bring to my expressive territory some pieces which, apart from their pedagogical intentionality, hide an attractive musical component. The first Studio is dedicated to fast détaché; the second to staccato; the third to left-hand articulation in slurred; the fourth to the change of string in slurred; and the fifth to the rapid crossing of endétaché and slurred strings.

It was a work-commissioned by the Auditori de Barcelona, premiered by the Quartet Casals at the Mozartsaal in Hamburg on 21 September 2006 and subsequently at the Auditori de Barcelona for the inauguration of the Sala de Cambra on 9 and 10 October of the same year.
