Hummels “Potpourri” for Viola and Orchestra op. 94 is part of every viola player’s core repertoire, especially in its shortened version, the “Fantasy”. Sprinkled with quotes from operas by Mozart and Rossini and framed by spirited, newly composed passages, the “Potpourri” fills a gap in the small repertoire of the classical-early romantic period. Tabea Zimmermann has drawn upon her extensive experience in providing fingerings and bowings for the solo part. And it goes without saying that the “Fantasy” version can also be played using our edition.

Epuisèe depuis plusieurs annèes, la version pour violoncelle est à nouveau à la disposition des interprètes et du monde musical.
[Crescendo, 2009]
Tutta l’opera è pervasa da una scrittura fortemente virtuosistica e sempre brillante: lo sono sicuramente le due riduzioni per viola e pianoforte e violoncello e pianoforte, pubblicate dall’edizione G. Henle Verlag, in cui la parte per pianoforte è sempre molto curata.
[Archi Magazin, 2008]
Höchste Zeit und sehr erfreulich, dass neben der verstümmelten Fassung nun endlich das geistsprühende und virtuose Original in einer exzellenten Ausgabe zu bekommen ist. … Höchste Zeit also, dass dieses Werk seinen Weg aus den Hochschulen in die weite Welt der Orchesterpodien und Kammermusiksäle findet.
