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 writes a very skilful solo part suitable for the instrument adding vigorous melody and harmonic abundance which reminds of Mozart. In this edition, the original cadences and diminutions appear unchanged.

Franz Benda belongs to the so-called Berlin or North German School which became extremely significant in the second half of the 18th century particularly in the field of instrumental music and which made the transition from the baroque to the classical period together with the Mannheim School. In the works of the Berlin School, the strict counterpoint of the predecessors is loosened by a freer and melodically pleasant, almost „galant“ style and often even completely displaced.
