Some of the 22 Works in Volumes 35 & 36 are for beginners,  such as the Duettino facile,  op. 77,  while others,  such as the Duo Concertant op. 25 and the Gran Duetto Concertante op. 52,  are virtuoso pieces.  Some of them are already celebrated,  such as op. 25 and op. 52,  and there are others which are not so well known but which are well worth performing,  such as the Originäl Märsche or the magnificent Duo.  Some of them were originally composed specifically for the violin with guitar,  others specifically for the flute with guitar,  but most of them state on their title-pages that either violin or flute is acceptable.
