Oscar Rieding: Concert B Op.35: Violin: Instrumental Work

For the first time the series 'Bärenreiter?s Concert Pieces' presents arrangements of concertos for viola and violoncello. The editions are an ideal continuation of the Sassmannshaus string methods but can of course also be used independently. Since concerto op. 35 only employs the first position it is suitable for beginners and young students. The piece has been transposed to make it easier to play.The concise foreword by renowned string pedagogues Christoph and Kurt Sassmannshaus introduces the work and points out its relevant technical requirements.

The name Oskar Rieding may seldom appear in concert programmes but for students of the violin it is all the more familiar. To this day his short concert pieces for violin and piano written at the start of the twentieth century especially for beginners on the instrument have maintained their place in lessons and class recitals. Restricted to the first position the b-minor Concerto op. 35 is ideal for beginners. For this Urtext edition based on the first printing editor Annette Oppermann received talented support the Slovenian Rieding specialist Maruša Zupan i contributes an interesting preface on the little-known composer.The name Oskar Rieding may seldom appear in concert programmes but for students of the violin it is all the more familiar.
