This cello concerto by Johann Christian Bach has no record of its composition, nor of its original intention so far as instrumentation is concerned. The music, for a string instrument and piano, was in the music collected by Camille Saint-Saéns, and, after his death in 1921, was gratefully accepted by both viola and cello players as a welcome addition to their repertory. The first movement is typical of J. C. Bach's direct style, the soloist taking over the theme immediately after its first statement and then rarely leaving the scene. Eloquence and beauty characterise the slow movement, an extended melodic flow which ideally suits the warm lyricism of the cello, while the finale returns to the boisterous vehemence which underlies the first allegro.

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.
