Johann Christian Bach's' Concerto in C minor has become one of the most popular viola repertory pieces. The piece is however not by J.C. Bach at all, but rather a well-intentioned fabrication of the Casedesus brothers Henri and Marius. Henri Casadesus was an outstanding violist and presented this concerto in 1916 as a new discovery by J.C. Bach. It was subsequently revealed to be an invention of Casadesus himself, 'inspired' by J.C. Bach sources. This Edition Peters publication contains a piano reduction and offers the possibility of performance by viola, cello or violin, containing separate parts for these instruments.

    Although a staple of the cello (sic) student's repertoire, less frequently played on viola (both parts are included - I've never even heard of its being played on violin) and a lovely piece, it bears very little resemblance to the rest of JC Bach's output. It is clearly...

    a work of Henri Casadesus, although it may have been based on authentic fragments or sketches. In all fairness, this is explained in the preface, but newcomers to this work should be clear of its true historical anachronism. This Peters edition is very nicely printed, and for the most part consistent with the original French edition.
