His numerous compositions and particularly his 'singspiels' (song-plays) were very popular with the audience: Ditters von Dittersdorf's comedy 'Der Apotheker und der Doktor' even outdid Mozart's 'Le nozze di Figaro' in contemporary popularity in 1786. In 1766 Dittersdorf wrote the Violin Concerto in C major while being in service as leader of a music band in Growardein 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 virtuoso finale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schott Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58785063796896,"sku":"VLB11","price":49.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0100\/7786\/4002\/files\/VLB11.jpg?v=1788060901","url":"https:\/\/www.musichorizon.com\/products\/dittersdorf-concerto-c-major-krebs-157-for-violin-piano","provider":"MusicHorizon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
