Editions : “Cadenzas for 2 Viola Concertos: C. Stamitz, F. A. Ho meister.” MFA degree project, University of Gothenburg, 2012. Available at: https://gupea.ub.gu.se/bitstream/2077/31964/1/gupea_2077_31964_1.pdf [Includes cadenzas for concertos by Karl Stamitz (D Major) and F. A. Ho meister (D Major).] Note : Högström is a Swedish violist who composed this cadenza as part of a thesis project with the goal “to have my own cadenzas that I can use when auditioning for jobs as a viola player in professional orchestras…. In practice, this limits the scope of my project to writing cadenzas for the rst movement… It has been my experience that in auditions, you are never asked to play a cadenza to the 2nd movement.” 9
