Rieding then worked in Budapest for 32 years, where he composed a number of violin concertos, which in the violin with piano edition, as so-called student concerts, require a certain level of technical skill. He wrote concerts with increasing demands, for the 1st position (Op.34-36), 1st-3rd position (Op.21), 1st-5th position (Op. 24.25), 1st-7th position .Location (op.7).
