Manfred Wohlfahrt

(exact birth and death dates unknown; active primarily in the mid-20th century) is a shadowy yet persistent name in the world of string pedagogy. Unlike his presumed predecessor Franz Wohlfahrt, who wrote original etudes, Manfred Wohlfahrt is best known as an editor, arranger, and compiler of elementary teaching materials for the violin. His work sits at the intersection of the 19th-century German etude tradition and 20th-century practical teaching methods.
