With this one-movement Concertino, Oskar Rieding addresses violin students who are already advanced. Aside from playing in third position, it also requires a considerable degree of dexterity and mastery of bowing. The "Hungarian style" mentioned in the title alludes to the fact that Prussian-born Rieding gave more than three decades of service at Budapest's National Theatre. Its marked rhythms recall Hungarian folk music and will appeal to more spirited young violinists. The Slovenian Rieding specialist Marusa Zupancic contributes an interesting preface on the little-known composer to this Urtext edition; the markings in the solo part are provided by the experienced violinist Evelyne Grub-Trauer.
