Though some themes of the D major Violin Concerto appear fragmentarily among Beethoven's earlier drafts, the score received its final shape - according to the autograph manuscript - in 1806 only. The first performance took place on December 23 of the same year in Vienna, the violon solo was played by Franz Clement. The concerto met with a rather cold reception: this critic of the Wiener Theaterzeitung admitted 'some beauty' in it but for the rest he found that '...the coherence often seems totally broken and the endless repetitions of some commonplace sections can easily become tedious.' The performance may have not been totally satisfying, it is certainly surprising that the setof parts published in 1808 is dedicated to Stephan von Breuning instead of Clement. It is not impossible that Beethoven lost faith in the value and future of his work, too, - his later attempt to change it into a piano concerto can be interpreted in this way.

Der 1683 in der Nahe des thuringischen Weissenfels geborene Heinichen steht heute, im Schatten der grossen Meister Bach, Handel und Telemann. Die Zeitgenossen sahen das anders, er war als Theoretiker und als Komponist sehr angesehen, im Kontakt mit Vivaldi und Bach, mit Fasch und Graupner befreundet, gefeiert als Opernkomponist in Venedig und Hofkapellmeister in Dresden. Sein hier erstmals gedrucktes Violinkonzert ist ein schwungvolles Werk, das viele Freunde gefunden hat.
