Three excellent sonatinas for young pupils.
Lachner’s music recalls much of the spirit of Haydn,—it is straightforward, healthy and genial in character. The influence of Schumann and the somewhat complicated rhythmical feeling introduced by many modern German composers into their otherwise technically easy pieces (rendering them difficult to be understood by young beginners who are not specially gifted) are here conspicuous by their absence.
