Violin Concerto in C (Beethoven)

The Violin Concerto in C major, WoO 5 is a concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven from 1790–1792.

Description

Only a 259-bar part of the first movement in Beethoven's writing is still around, and is kept in the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. There is argument about if this is a part of a completed movement, the completed concerto, or was never completed.[1]

The work is written for solo violin, flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two French horns and strings.[1]
