3In 1924 Silver, Burdett & Company started publishing their Symphony Series of Programs for School and Community Orchestras edited by Frederick A. Stock, George Dasch and Osbourne McConathy for junior and senior high schools. One noteworthy feature of this series is that it was the first collection in which the second violins always play a melody. This is a graded course beginning with simple music for each instrument and gradually increasing in difficulty. There are five programs out now and a sixth is in preparation. Every number has a conductor's score.
5In addition to their "Symphony Series" the company's orchestra publications include two sinfoniettas, From the Western World by Anton Dvořák arranged by Rudolph Kopp, and Sinfonietta adapted by George Dasch from Franz Schubert's Sonatina Opus 137.
