In his biography, it is stated that one of Auber's first big hits in Paris was a violin concerto. I wonder whatever became of it?

Thanks for sharing the series of AUBER. I needed it.

I'm rather surprised. The Violin Concerto sounds like it's scored only for string orchestra. I wonder if that's how Auber originally orchestrated it, or if they only had a piano reduction to work with.

Fleisher has score and parts which are given as: solo violin, flute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns and strings. The Kalmus edition of the concerto (c. 1940) is held by a number of libraries, including NYPL. The score can also be downloaded from IMSLP.

Few composers have had such a fall from grace as poor old Auber. Is there any other composer with a station named after him? Yet his music has practically falled from sight entirely.

However the violin concerto is orchestrated, from the excerpts it sounds like they only used a string orchestra.

The first movement is now on YouTube and one can definitely hear the wind instruments in the opening tutti. I will listen to the whole movement later, but thought I should post now to set Jim's mind at rest.
