This is the second in a series of three books constituting a renowned progressive method, for beginners/intermediate players. This second book of Methode Elementaire focuses on tonalities major and minor other than G, C, D Major. It proposes different exercises which involves fingers crossing, extensions, chromaticism, scales and arpeggios. The violinists are also introduced to some melodic extracts from renowned composers. The quality and the efficiency of Maurice Hauchard?s methods make this book a key series to have for a Violin player.

In the last year of his life, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847) composed the six charming Children's Pieces, op. 72 (EB 8317). In contrast to the collections of children's pieces (by Schumann or Reger, for example), these have remained relatively unknown. Admittedly, however, they here and there demand technical and musical accomplishments that are beyond those to be expexted of beginners and belong to an intermediate stage of instruction. In the present edition, minor re-arrangements and cuts (in op. 72 no. 6) are intended to make the music more accessible to a child's understanding. The Songs without Words presented here are musically more demanding. From the total of 48 pieces, I have selected three slow compositions in which simple, beautiful melodie lines are supported by chorale-like piano textures. True performance of these pieces requires clean polyphonic chord playing and a cultivated pedal technique. The selection of pieces in this edition will, it is hoped, stimulate renewed interest in the piano music of Mendelssohn, which is so neglected today. Heinz Walter, Salzburg, Spring 1979
