Concertino in G Major, Opus 11 - Violin and Piano
Ferdinand Küchler

Ferdinand Küchler is regarded as one of the great violin teachers of the 20th century, not least because of his violin method. His Concertino in G major Op. 11 still is a popular entry-level piece of concert The Concerto Op. 11 is characterized by simplicity, clarity and beauty. The themes and melodies are comprehensible for children, yet never trite and plain. They are catchy and reflect ideally the intentions of Küchler's educational theory to always separate the difficulties and never ask that the pupil overcome two difficulties at once. The work is also available in an arrangement for solo violin with string quartet (double-bass ad lib.) Or string orchestra accompaniment (Schott, SE 1002) to enable early playing with string accompaniment. This edition is part of the new Schott Student Edition series, which has varied in five different difficulty levels, from 1 (easy) to 5 (difficult), for instrumental lessons.
