When the young Marlene Dietrich took violin lessons in Dessau from Friedrich Seitz (1848-1918), did she have this concerto in her repertoire? Whatever the case, her career, as we all know, took off on a different slant. But the Student Concerto in G major, op. 13, advanced to become one of the most popular and effective recital pieces for young violinists en route to the great concert stage.
Friedrich Seitz was a concertmaster and violin teacher, first in Magdeburg and later, from 1884, in Dessau. He published his op. 13 concerto in 1893. It is laid out in the conventional three movements: a charming Allegro non troppo poised between concert and salon music, a sentimental Adagio in a minor key, and a merry Rondo in 6/8 metre as a finale. Like almost every work by this passionate music educator, it stands in the facile e brillant tradition, achieving maximum impact with minimum technical demands while adopting the posture of a virtuoso concerto. A solid command of the first position is sufficient for its performance, with good left- and right-hand coordination required in the fast passages. The learner’s technical skills are honed on simple double stops and détaché, legato and elementary spiccato bowing. Typical formal sections, such as a cadenza in the opening movement, and lovely, memorable melodies, call for an imaginative delivery: students learn how much fun it can be to play ‘virtuoso’ music!
This edition appears in the Bärenreiter’s Concert Pieces series, which includes popular concertos and concert pieces for young violinists. The editor is the internationally acclaimed violin teacher Kurt Sassmannshaus, who has added fingering and bowing to the solo part and explains the technical requirements in a short preface.
– One of the most popular and effective student concertos of the 19th century

– Includes a solo part and a score with the piano accompaniment
– Short preface in German and English with information on technical requirements

Since their creation, Ludwig van Beethoven’s string quartets have fascinated and disturbed listeners and performers, lovers and connoisseurs through their free dealings with the norms of the genre and the listener’s expectations, as well as through their untamed imagination. With this book, Beethoven’s uncompromising path from the quartets op. 18 to his last five string quartets and the “Great Fugue” op. 133 is understandable step by step:
– Peter Gülke reflects on Beethoven’s “Music of the Other Time”.- Emil Platen describes the genesis of the last quartets from the first idea to performances to publication on the basis of musical autographs and transcripts, correspondence and conversation books.- Gerd Indorf treats each quartet on a set of about 100 pages sentence by sentence and presents their ideas and forms in a generally comprehensible form. Time indications are supplemented by minutes / seconds based on the recording of the Leipzig string quartet, so that the explanations are comprehensible even without notes ,- Matthias Moosdorf, the cellist of the Leipzig String Quartet, comments on the performance practice.- Peter Korfmacher portrays the most important complete recordings.
A “musical picture noise” offers the attached video-audio DVD with the “Big Fugue”. It can not only be heard in the interpretation of the Leipzig String Quartet, but also in moving pictures: its fascinating sound world can be experienced in a new way as video art.
