Misc. Notes grayscale
Includes 32 pieces fron the original 42. Like the Hermann arrangements, excludes Op.102. However includes Op.85.
While Hermann's arrangements are fairly easy, David's are more violinistic. He omits one or two pieces in each set, and transposes them often. For example, in Op.30 one piece of the six is omitted, four transposed and one in its original key.
