Concerto in C Major

Description

In 1766 Dittersdorf wrote the Violin Concerto in C Major while serving as leader of a music band in Grosswardein, a post he had accepted in succession to Michael Haydn. The solo part was probably played by the composer himself at the first performance. The concerto is a work that is fun to play: A pleasant, particularly concertante Allegro moderato is followed by a playful cantabile Andante and a Presto as a virtuoso finale.
