Seitz

Friedrich Seitz (1848–1918) was a German violinist, conductor, and composer who worked at various German theatres and opera houses before devoting himself increasingly to teaching and composition. He is remembered almost exclusively for his student concertos, a series of carefully graded works for violin that have introduced generations of players to the concerto form. His concertos in D major, G major, and G minor are among the most widely assigned works in graded syllabuses worldwide, their modest technical demands and genuine musical character making them effective at precisely the level for which they were written.
