Written for Franz Clement's charity concert
musicians made money through these concerts
The first soloist was Franz Clement himself
The first time it was performed it wasn't successful, it was even recorded that Clement played the violin upside down to try get some attention
Beethoven also wrote this piece as with many of his other pieces for the piano.
Violin had just been developed by Francis Tourte to have a lengthened neck, increased sounding length of strings, a more modern bow that was curved more inwards, with more bow hair and weight on the bottom. Higher notes were also made more practical
