Nice to hear someone else playing Ritter! I think his music is interesting, but I also think you're short changing Schumann and Straube. There is actually quite a bit of writing that accompanies itself even if, on paper, it doesn't appear so. Have a play through Schumann's Lesson XII and I think you'll see what I mean. The major section of Lesson II is another example, while the minor section is purely melodic. I haven't played any Oswald in a while, but if memory serves, a lot of his tunes sound "complete" without an obvious two-voice texture. It isn't a Bach violin solo, but it does make good use of the cetra's idiomatic characteristics.
