To supplement his 'European Piano Method', Fritz Emonts has published a number of accompanying tune books deepening the lessons and providing literature for all important epochs in music history. The present book with pieces from the classical period can be used simultaneously with vols. 2 and 3 of the method, also containing rare pieces from the rococo, pre-classical and classical eras. Among them are works by the Bach sons and Hook, Diabelli, Galuppi, Hässler, Kirnberger, Reichardt and many more. The new edition enlarged to 48 pages now also contains some of the well-known early Mozart pieces K 1 - K 3, the Rondo in D major K 15d as well as Beethoven's Sonatinas in F major and G major and the classic 'For Elise'. A perfect anthology for piano lessons on the 'classical music' topic.

Ferdinand Kuchler is regarded as one of the great violin teachers of the 20th century, due, in large part, to his popular violin method. His Concertino remains a popular entry-level piece for students to this day.

The piece is characterized by simplicity, clarity and beauty. The themes and melodies are easily identifiable by children, yet never trite and plain. They are catchy and perfectly reflect Kuchler's educational ideology - "to always separate the difficulties and never demand that the pupil overcome two difficulties at once".

The work is also available in an arrangement for solo violin with string quartet accompaniment (with double-bass ad lib.)(Schott, SE 1002). The viola part can be replaced by a third violin if necessary. By using the parts for multiple players, this can also be performed by a beginner string orchestra.

This edition is part of the new Schott Student Edition series which offers varied literature at five different levels of difficulty, from 1 (easy) to 5 (difficult), for instrumental lessons:
