In the early part of the year 1754 Innozenz Danzi (c. 1730 - 1798) took up an appointment in the Mannheim orchestra - at almost the same time as Johann Anton Fils - as succesor to the solo cellist Carlo Perroni. Although Fils, who was about the same age as Danzi and who shared the same desk, was destined to enjoy only six years of artistic activity here before his tragic death, he neverless claimed tha interest of his contemporaries. On the other hand, there are no contemporary accounts at all of the work or compositions of Danzi. Schubart mentions only the fact that, together with the violinist Carl Joseph and Johann Baptist Toeschi, he was required to assist in chamber music with the Elector, who played the flute. The present concerto by Danzi certainly composed before 1760 is influenced in grat measure by Stamitz.
