From the Heart by Louis Spohr is one of 16 arrangements for elementary string ensemble included in Richard Young's Comprehensive String Pedagogy & Curriculum. On a scale of "Easy", "More Challenging" to "Difficult (but Still Appropriate for Elementary Students)", From the Heart is rated "Difficult". A portion of the proceeds of sales for all CSPC music goes to support free music education at The People's Music School.

Ludwig Spohr's career immediately followed Beethoven's. Though he was not Beethoven's equal, he was a fine composer who was prolific and successful. This gorgeous piece is from one of his duos for two violins.
 Particularly with a work that is unfamiliar, how does one choose the right tempo? The only indication from Spohr is the Adagio marking in the original score. (The metronome mark printed in this score is the suggestion of the arranger.) Though this is one of the slower options – somewhere between Grave and Andante – it's a rather general instruction that can yield a range of effective possibilities. Naturally our intuition plays a huge role, particularly with music that has such a strong emotional appeal. There are other factors, though, that should also be weighed.

Full program notes are included with the score. There are fingerings and bowings in all the string parts of every one of CSPC's pieces. These "cooked-in" technical solutions target the particular levels of the students. They are not just pragmatic but "musical."
