Although the Wurzburg court musician and violin soloist Joseph Kuffner (1776-1856) had to deal with military music for professional reasons, he had also written a series of symphonies, orchestral works and concertos. In the field of chamber music, he liked to compose potpourris on popular opera melodies. Kuffner made the highlights of Weber's 'Freischutz' into a potpourri for flute (or violin) and piano with pleasant music-making guaranteed!

The present pieces are intended to help the teacher position playing at an early stage. Having tackled two-part playing with open bass strings n first and second positions, it is possible to attempt two-part playing with open strings in higher positions (without changing position), without encountering technical difficulties.The book concentrates on the most commonly used positions (I-V, VII) and offers two pieces in each position. The song Happy Birthday also requires the ninth position.The exact range of the appropriate position is given above each piece. In the pieces themselves, fingering indications have been avoided to eliminate the danger of relying upon them. The right hand can play apoyando throughout.The addition of a second guitar part (of the same technical standard as the first) makes this book suitable for group teaching as well as for individual lessons. All the pieces may be played as solos (upper part) or as duets.The range of musical styles extends from baroque to folklore and blues and will therefore suit the various preferences of guitar students.
