=Lachner, I.= Op. 96, 97 and 98. Sonatinas in A, D and
B♭. (5621-2-3).

There is an air of brightness and humour in these sonatinas
which reminds one of Haydn and Mozart. Without making
great demands upon the technique of the player, the
sonatinas are brilliant and diversified, and although
they chiefly appeal to the young they are never
childish. Op. 98 with its charming “Rococo” colouring is
sure to make friends upon acquaintance.

=Mazas, F.= Duos faciles et progressifs; Letters C, D &
E. 3 Bks. (5608c-e).

=Pleyel, I.= Op. 48. 6 Sonatinas. (7598).

=Ries, H.= Progressive Duets. (Ernst Heim) 9 Books:—

Book I. First position. Easy double-stopping. (5629a).
Book II. First and second positions. (5629b).

These melodious and graceful compositions are rendered more
valuable by the careful revision of fingering, bowing
and marks of expression. They contain a wealth of
technical devices.

=Ritter, E. W.= 30 Exercices faciles. Bk. 2. (5631b).

=Thomas, E.= 4 Duos. (5634a, b).

Book VI., Op. 23. Easy. 3rd position. (5599f).
Book VII., Op. 23. Easy. 3rd position. (5599g).

This excellent work should form every student’s companion
from the first beginning until a degree of considerable
technical skill has been reached. It gains much by E.
Heim’s careful revision as to the fingering, bowing,
and all marks of expression.
