'With this publication, Komarowski, a Russian violin teacher of Polish descent, comes to America. The first movement is published in Grade 8 of the RCM, placing the work on the level of the Haydn Concerto in G Major. Most of the work is in the first and third position with a touch of fifth. Some more advanced alternate notes are provided, with others for simplification. Fingerings are not given. The composition has a light, happy air about it..a pleasant listening experience for theaudience and an exciting playing experience for the student.' - American String Teacher. Advanced level.
