Three Little Pieces, op. 19b

The Three Little Pieces for Strings are an early work, composed by Bertold Hummel for the joy of music-making. The degree of difficulty of this composition has intentionally been kept such that it can easily be performed even by amateur orchestras. 'It was not beneath the composer to write for the young people three little pieces suitable for strings and tailor-made for the perfectly developed tonal body,' wrote the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The carefully revised and newly edited work, published by Simrock, will be a real find for curious chamber musicians and concert organizers.
