INTRODUCTION

In point of technique and interpretation the Etudes, Opus 66, by Carl Albert Loeschhorn, are considerably in ad- vance of the Etudes, Opus 65. They are invariably twice as long, and appeal, in general, to a more advanced musicianship. In them the composer evinces the same essentially true musical characteristics to which the editor of this volume called attention in the biographical and critical preface to the Etudes, Opus 65.

Assuming the teacher grades her work on the general plan of seven, these Etudes will be found to extend from the third into the fourth grade. Many new features are introduced beyond what occur in Opus 65, and many problems initiated in that work are further developed here, as the teacher-student will discover by comparing the analytical titles in the introduction to Opus 65 with the following,

The first table given below is a contents of Opus 66. The descriptive line following each study refers to its lead- ing characteristic. Other problems than the one stated arise and are more or less developed in many of these Etudes.

The following brief biographical note from the editor's introduction to Opus 65 is added for ready reference:

Carl Albert Loeschhorn was born in Berlin on the 27 th of June, 18 19. At the age of five he began his music studies with his father, and three years later he appeared for the first time in public as a pianist. From this time until he was eighteen years old his general education went hand in hand with his music training.

In 1837 Loeschhorn studied with Ludwig Berger, re- maining with him until the latter's death in 1839. He then entered the Royal Institute for Church Music in Ber- lin, studying harmony and composition with Eduard Grell and A. W. Bach, and piano playing with Rudolph Kil- litschgy, a talented pupil of his former master Berger. Killitschgy died in 1850, and in the following year Loesch- horn succeeded to his position in the Institute. In 1858 he became a full titled professor.

Teaching was by no means Loeschhorn 's only activity. In 1847, in conjunction with Adolph and Julius Stahl- knecht, he established in Berlin a series of trio concerts for piano, violin, and violoncello. Their success was great in this enterprise and equally so in a Russian tour under- taken in 1853. In 1862 Loeschhorn collaborated with J. Weiss in the publication of a Guide to Pianoforte Lit- erature. In 1885 a revised version was published by Loeschhorn alone, under the title Fiihrer durch die Klavierliteratur.

He has composed many works for the piano, most of which are pedagogical, and he has also written vocal pieces and a number of quartets for piano and strings. Loesch- horn was among the founders of the German Association of Organists and of the Association of Piano Teachers. In 1899 his eightieth birthday was celebrated, and he took an active part in the festivities. He died in Berlin, June 4, 1905.

March 14, 1905.
