Rieding

Oskar Rieding (1840–1916) was a German violinist and composer who settled in Budapest and spent his career as a violin teacher, producing a series of pedagogical concertinos that have remained in continuous use for over a century. His works, including the Concerto in B minor Op. 35 and the Concertino in Hungarian Style Op. 21, are staples of graded violin syllabuses worldwide, their Hungarian melodic character reflecting the musical environment of his adopted city. He is one of those composers known almost exclusively to violin students and their teachers, which is a particular form of immortality.
