Fit in 15 Minutes is intended for occasional players who are very short of time and want to maintain and improve their viola technique in a concentrated and effective quarter of an hour. They can also be used at the beginning of a longer practice or rehearsal session.
As the technical precondition of beginners and professional violists vary, each exercise is offered in three levels of progressive complexity:
• Level 1: Exercises for beginners
• Level 2: Exercises for advanced players
• Level 3: Exercises for tertiary students and professionals
The division in three levels provides didactic transparency. It is not meant to create boundaries, but serves as a stimulation to identify correlations, to polish basics or to conquer new technical challenges.

Shortly before that (or at the same time), part of the work (Studies 1-5) was published by Sieber in Paris (plate number 141): that edition has been consulted in instances of ambiguity.
