Editions :

Kadenzen zu klassischen Bratschen-Konzerten . Vienna: Doblinger, 1996, 03 518. [Includes cadenzas for concertos by F. A. Hoffmeister (D Major), Karl Stamitz (D Major), G. P. Telemann, and C. F. Zelter.]

Note : Herbert Blendinger is an Austrian composer and former Professor of Viola at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Graz. About this collection, Blendinger writes that “with the exception of the cadenza to the Ho meister concerto, I played all these cadenzas myself in a large number of concerts with various orchestras and under prominent conductors in my solo career as a violist from 1961 to 1983. As a composer I made every e ort to work in the style of the concerto in question, dispensing with elements of 20th-century musical language.” 8
