Dotzauer was a skilled musician who composed operas, symphonies, overtures, mass, concertos, and chamber music. However, his educational compositions have proved to be of lasting value.

Several publications of this kind were made, but the work by Johannes Klingenberg has turned out to be the most successful.

Emil Kreuz was a skilled German musician born in Elberfeld in 1867. He was a talented player of both the violin and viola and an accomplished composer, conductor, and teacher.
