The Bohemian composer Jan Krtitel Vanhal/Johann Baptist Vanhal (1739-1813) settled in Vienna around 1763. There he wrote several concertos for various instruments, of which two for viola have survived. Both are evidently not original compositions, but arrangements by Vanhal of some of his own works, a common practice of that time. The Viola Concerto in C major is based on Vanhal's cello concerto in the same key.Our new revised edition makes this Concerto available once again. The solo part contains cadenzas for each movement. - Popular repertoire piece from the Viennese classical period - Idiomatic piano reduction - Solo part revised by Jan Plichta - New trilingual Foreword by Phillip Schmidt (Ger/Cz/Eng) / Alto Et Orchestre

Gyula Dávid (1913-1977) was one of the most important members of the generation of Hungarian composers who followed Bartók and Kodály. His ?uvre includes stage, orchestral, oratorial, chamber, and solo instrumental works. Although he rarely quoted folk material directly in his music, folksong, popular music and the spirit of the Hungarian musical tradition permeates his works. In the last two decades of his life he wrote atonal and twelve-tone compositions. With his Wind Quintet (composed 1949) he created a genre which plays an important role in the new Hungarian music. Gyula Dávid studied composition with Albert Siklós and Zoltán Kodály at the Academy of Music in Budapest,graduating in 1938. Between 1938 and 1945 he worked in several orchestras as viola player. From 1945 to 1949 he was conductor at Hungarian National Theatre, than he became leader of the Ensemble of the Hungarian Army. From 1961 to his retirement he was professor at the Teacher Training Faculty of the Academy of Music in Budapest. Between 1951 and 1960 he taught wind chamber music, music theory and wind orchestration at the Academy of Music. He was one of the founders of the Hungarian Artists' Union. He was awarded the Erkel Prize (1952, 1955) and the Kossuth Prize (1957).

World premiere Paris, June 12, 1975 Diesem Werk liegt der Choral von Johann Sebastian Bach zugrunde den Alban Berg in seinem Violinkonzert zitiert hat. Bei meiner Komposition handelt es sich nicht um Variationen im engeren Sinne vielmehr ist hierbei das Bach-Thema Ausgangspunkt und Basis fur die nachfolgende musikalische Entwicklung. Hinsichtlich seiner Art der Zitatbehandlung steht dieses Werk in enger Verwandtschaft zu meinen ,,Haydn-Variationen sowie zu den ,,Variationen uber ein Thema von Franz Schubert .(Edison Denissow)CDNo buko Imai (Viola)Nieuw Sinfonietta AmsterdamLtg. Lev MarkizBIZ DC 518 Das Werk beginnt in einem chromatisch angereicherten c-moll. Bei ,,Poco piu mosso intoniert das Cembalo das Thema der c-moll-Fuge aus dem ,,Wohltemperierten Klavier I von Johann Sebastian Bach hier allerdings in einer etwas deformierten Gestalt und um einen Ton hoher geruckt. In der Reprise tritt zum ersten Mal im Orchester ein c-moll-Akkord auf und erst in der Coda erscheint die Tonart C-dur die jedoch im Moment ihres Auftretens sogleich durch Zwolftonigkeit ,,verschleiert wird.
