Book IIC. Supplement to Books a and b. Pieces by

Wolfermann, Stephen Heller, Tschaïkowsky, Kreuz, and Kullak. (11472 c).

An excellent Collection of Graduated Violin and Piano pieces revised by Ernst Heim; each book corresponds in difficulty with the same book of his Violin Duets, “Arena”, see page 120, and his Violin Studies, “Gradus ad Parnassum”, see page 111.

=Beazley, J. C.= 6 Little Pieces. Book 1, “A stray thought,” “On the lake”, and “A happy moment”; Book 2, “Eventide”. “Meditation” and “March”.

=Clark, Scotson.= Melody in A.

=Danbé, J.= 6 Petits Morceaux. Cantabile & Allegro, Petite Valse, Caprice, Adagio and Rondo, Minuet, Petite Barcarolle.

Melodious and attractive to young pupils.

=Fitzenhagen, W.= Petits Morceaux. (Violin part within the compass of a fourth):—

3 Morceaux. Op. 38. No. 2, Barcarolle; No. 3. Mazurka.

Morceaux. Op. 39. No. 1, Cavatine; No. 2, Ländler; No. 3, Tarantelle.

Very effective little pieces within the compass of a fourth; with very attractive piano accompaniments.

=Gurlitt, C.= Our Favorite Tunes. Melodies, Ancient and Modern. (7375).

—Morceaux de Salon (faciles). Op. 146:—

Ländler, Neues Leben, Nocturno, Impromptu. (8677 a).

—The Chase. (Die Jagd.) Op. 190, No. 6.

=Hauptmann, M.= 3 Sonatinas. (7384).

The rudimentary features of the sonata form are here packed into a very small compass indeed; all three movements of No. 1 occupying only one page in the violin part.
