The rediscovery of this concerto by the Bohemian composer is certainly a surprise for the violists, particularly since there is only very little original literature from the classical epoch. As violist of the Dresden court orchestra, Joseph Schubert wrote a very skilful solo part suitable for the instrument, adding a vigorous melody and abundant harmony which are reminiscent of Mozart. In this edition, the original cadences and diminutions are unchanged.
