Franz Schubert composed his Rondo in B minor for violin and piano, D 895 in 1826 for the twenty-year-old Czech violinist Josef Slavík (who also commissioned Schubert's Fantasy in C, D 934 in 1827). It was the first piece for violin and piano that Schubert had composed for almost a decade. It was first performed by Slavík with the pianist Karl Maria von Bocklet in 1827. Artaria published the score in April 1827 as "Rondo brilliant, Op. 70".[1] The Rondo is the only one of Schubert's six violin-piano works to reach print during his lifetime.

Structure

The composition comprises a single multi-tempo movement marked Andante - Allegro. The piece ends in B major.
