Among violinists and teachers, Oskar Rieding (1840-1918) is mainly known for his easily playable violin concertos especially for beginners. His beautiful pieces thrive on charming aesthetics which delight children of every age, teachers and audiences alike. Petite Ballade is part of the new Schott Student Edition series which offers varied literature at five different levels of difficulty, from 1 (easy) to 5 (difficult), for instrumental lessons.
