The musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in his early youth studied violin with his father Leopold Mozart, who was a well-known violin pedagogue and author of an important treatise on violin playing. During his early childhood, Wolfgang was celebrated as a child prodigy, both on harpsichord and violin. While composing this concerto in 1775, the 19-year-old Mozart was concertmaster of the Salzburg Prince and Archbishop s Orchestra. His duties included leading the orchestra and performing chamber music, as well as violin solos. It is likely that Mozart was the first performer of his Violin Concerto in G Major. This one-of-a-kind performance edition includes the Cadenzas of Leopold Auer, with fingerings and bowings by Jascha Heifetz protege Endre Granat.
