    �evc�k was born in Hora�dovice, Bohemia, Austrian Empire.[1] His father was the
    local village schoolmaster.[2] Although he received his first music lessons from
    his father, he studied under Anton�n Bennewitz at the Prague Conservatory
    (1866�1870) during which period a disease caused him to have his left eye
    enucleated.[3][4] He was also taught by Hans Sitt.[2] He began his career in 1870
    as concertmaster of the Mozarteum concerts in Salzburg,[2] where he also taught.
    [citation needed]

    After 1873, he was concertmaster at the Prague Interim (Provisional) Theatre and
    the Komische Opera at the Ring Theatre in Vienna. From 1875-92 he was professor of
    violin at the music school of the Russian Music Society in Kiev, at the same time
    appearing frequently as soloist.[citation needed]

    In 1892 he became head of the violin department at the Prague Conservatory, where
    he remained until 1906. He then taught privately in P�sek. In 1909, he became
    director of the Violin Department at the Vienna Music Academy, until 1918, when at
    the end of World War I his nationality forced him to leave his position. He
    returned to the Prague Conservatory, where he stayed until 1921. After that he
    travelled in the United States and Great Britain as a well known teacher. He died
    in P�sek, in the modern-day Czech Republic.[5]

    �evc�k taught violin at the Imperial Royal Academy of Music in Vienna, from 1909.
    He visited the United States four times between 1922 and 1932 to teach.[2]

    �evc�k was famous as a violin teacher in Salzburg, Vienna, Prague, Kharkiv, Kiev,
    London, Boston, Chicago, and New York City.[citation needed]

    His violin studies and violin methods were published in several books and are still
    important as major teaching tools. These studies include The Little �evc�k, an
    elementary violin tutor, which teaches the semitone system in 149 exercises, the
    School of Violin Technics (Schule der Violintechnik, four parts, 1880), First
    Position, vol. II, 2nd to 7th Positions, and Vol. III, Shifting, and Preparatory
    Exercises in Double-Stopping, Opus 9, and the Schule der Bogentechnik (six parts,
    1893).[citation needed]
