Campagnoli fugues for violin?
My violin teacher showed me a book of fugues by Campagnoli today; there were (I think) 30 of them, representing all the different major and minor keys. I commented that it was like Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier for piano and he agreed, but said they were easier. I think they are intended to be used as etudes, but they are BEAUTIFUL. I want to find my own copy but I've searched Shar and SheetMusicPlus with no luck. My teacher did say it was hard to find, and his copy is old and from Russia. Anyone know what I'm talking about or where I might find it?

Here are the preludes, I don't know the fugues.
Yes! Thanks so much, Jonathan and Marina, those are exactly what I was looking for. I think my teacher actually said "30 preludes and fugues", but later referred to them as just fugues (English isn't his first language). Anyway, I love these and appreciate the link very much. Yay for violinist.com! :)

The famous 30 Preludes maybe? I don't know of a collection of fugues off the top of my head but know of many individual fugues such as those revised by Alard.
