Concertino in A Minor in Hungarian Style, Op. 21

With this one-movement concertino, Oskar Rieding turns to already advanced students of the violin. Aside from playing in third position, it also requires a considerable degree of dexterity and mastery of bowing. The Hungarian style mentioned in the title alludes to the fact that Prussian-born Rieding gave more than three decades of service at Budapest's National Theatre. Its marked rhythms recall Hungarian folk music and will appeal to more spirited young violinists.
