Description

Ferdinand Küchler is recognized as one of the foremost violin instructors of the 20th century, largely due to his widely acclaimed violin method. His Concertino continues to serve as a favored introductory piece for students, noted for its simplicity, clarity, and aesthetic appeal. The themes and melodies are easily grasped by young learners, yet they maintain a level of sophistication that avoids being mundane. This reflects Küchler's educational philosophy of addressing challenges individually, ensuring that students are not overwhelmed by multiple difficulties simultaneously. Additionally, the work is available in a version for solo violin accompanied by a string quartet, with the option of including a double bass. The viola part can be substituted with a third violin if needed, allowing for performance by a beginner string orchestra. This edition is part of the Schott Student Edition series, which provides a diverse range of literature across five difficulty levels for instrumental instruction, available in both print and electronic formats, and includes downloadable accompaniment tracks for enhanced practice.
