Kadenzen zu Viola-Konzerten von Stamitz, Zelter und Ho meister.

• Zurich: Eulenburg, 1971, E.E. 10014. • Adliswil: Kunzelmann, [2010], GM 22. [Includes cadenzas for concertos by Karl Stamitz (D Major), C. F. Zelter, and F. A. Ho meister (D Major).]

Note : Franz Beyer is a German musicologist and former Professor of Viola and Chamber Music at the Hochschule für Musik und eater München. Regarding the two versions of cadenzas for movements I and II, Beyer notes that “the rst of these follow the example of Mozart’s cadenzas whereas the second in their structure, modulations, and extent point out that such extended forms are to be found as early as 1800.” 7 In movement III, lead-in material has been included for m. 93—an atypical spot—which has been used on multiple recordings.
