One of the leading composers of instrumental music of the early Romantic period, Louis Spohr was a violinist, composer, and conductor. In addition to symphonic works, string quartets, and other solo and chamber music, he composed operas, operettas, and songs. Of the fifteen violin concerti he composed, his Violin Concerto no. 7 in c minor was written in 1814. There has been a trend, starting in the late 20th century, to revive his instrumental works and songs.

Alexander Peskanov Piano Concerto No. 7, published by Classical Video Concepts, Inc. was inspired by the 50th Wedding Anniversary of composer's friends, Judith and Murray Siegel. The first movement has a vibrant spirit that reflects the dynamic life of these two people. The second movement is lyrical and tells about the passion of love and the strength that makes a great marriage. The third movement is based on a motif from an old Jewish song that the composer's grandfather, David used to sing during family gatherings. The movement has a strong influence of harmonic colors, and engaging rhythms found in klezmer and Hassidic music.

Classic, two-volume book of exercises has served generations of beginning violinists and their teachers. Studies provide practice in string crossing, bow strokes, shifting from first to third positions, and finger patterns.
