Description
The name Oskar Rieding may not be widely recognized in concert programs, but it is highly familiar to violin students. Even today, Rieding's short concert pieces for violin and piano, written in the early 20th century specifically for beginners, remain staples of lessons and recitals. His Op. 35 Concerto in B minor, limited to the first position, is particularly well-suited for those starting out on the instrument. For this Urtext edition, based on the first printing, editor Annette Oppermann had the valuable assistance of Slovenian Rieding specialist Maruša Zupančič, who contributed an insightful preface on the little-known composer.
