The Dessaeur-only series ca.1900

The complete series ca.1930

History

This series started around 1900, as viola versions of several items from Les Maîtres classiques du violon. This was a 54-item series for violin and piano edited by Alard and published first by Gerard of Paris and then Schott of Mainz in the 1863-90 period.
Piatti's viola or cello edition of Ariosti's Six Lessons was published in 1897 by William Hill of London.
The Dessauer items were first included in the Les Maîtres classiques du violon series, but later around 1920 the publisher assembled the series in its present form.
The collection was later superseded by Schott's Viola-Bibliothek series.
