Oskar Rieding

Rondo G major Op. 22/3

Among violinists and teachers, Oskar Rieding (1840-1918) is mainly known for his easily playable violin concertos especially for beginners. His works written for music lessons are easy to master, beautiful to listen to and sparkling with enchanting aesthetics.The Rondo, which originally was the third of four easy performance pieces in a work cycle for violin and piano (Op. 22), is one of Rieding's most popular and most frequently performed pieces in today's violin lessons for beginners. The listener is inevitably reminded of ballet and operetta. The magnificent opera house of Budapest, which had been the workplace of concert master Rieding for decades, is reflected here with enchanting ease.
