Oskar Rieding
Violin Concerto b minor op. 35
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 Zupančič contributes an interesting preface on the little-known composer.

With its beautiful melodies and undemanding technical level, this piece is a favorite with teachers and students alike. Although it can be played entirely in the first position, there is opportunity to use higher positions as one progresses. ... No student should leave the studio without this charismatic work securely in his or her fingers!
