Dotzauer dedicated three works to the guitar, an instrument particularly in vogue at the beginning of the 19th century. The first one was this collection of Six Songs (Sechs Lieder) for the Voice with Guitar accompaniment. The guitar part is not particularly challenging, making it ideal for amateurs and professionals alike.

The texts come from several prominent poets of the time, namely Friedrich von Schiller, Karl Friedrich Müchler, Johann Stephen Schütze, and Christian Schreiber.

This edition is the first modern publication of these pieces, and exceptionally offers a separate guitar part. The outstanding contribution of Dr. Bernd Krause of the Büro für Geschichtswissenschaften made this edition possible. Rich editorial notes and a comprehensive section analyzing the texts complete this unique publication.
