Note : Paul Klengel was a German violinist, violist, pianist, composer, and arranger who served as Professor of Violin and Piano at the Leipzig Conservatory. Klengel’s cadenza was the second published version (after Clemens Meyer’s) and has remained popular through continued reprints and inclusion in editions by other editors. In his edition, Klengel made substantial alterations to Stamitz’s music, with more than 35% of the solo viola’s measures having some type of alteration (ranging from changing one note to altering the entire measure, as well as deleting and adding measures).
