35 The Adagio in Zimmermann's Concerto No. 1 is in G major; see D-SWI: Mus 5817 score, 17-20. Múdra, Anton Zimmermann, 219 incorrectly lists the transposed solo tuning key (A) from the first edition of this concerto: Anton Zimmermann, Konzert D-Dur für Kontrabass und Orchester,ed. Rudolph Malarić (Vienna: Doblinger, 1978). For details, see Rodney Slatford, "Review: Double Bass," The Musical Times 122, no. 1662 (August 1981): 542-543.

38 Meier, Konzertante Musik für Kontrabass in der Wiener Klassik, 146, lists this concerto as Concerto No. 1; it is held by D-SWI in Mus 2850.

42 They also match the first movements of No. 10 and No. 13, but these movements already have notated cadenzas.

48 Facsimiles of these manuscript cadenzas are in Vaňhal, Concerto D major for Double Bass and Orchestra, 4. The original manuscripts are in Giovanni Vanhal, Concerto in E♭ per il Contrabasso, D-SWI: Mus 5512.

49 Like Sperger, Mozart only wrote a cadenza into the score once, for the first movement of his Piano Concerto in A major, K. 488. See Eva and Paul Badura-Skoda, Interpreting Mozart,252.

50 The figuration in bars 3-10 differs between the solo part and the score, as does the register of the final trill.

51 Quantz, On Playing the Flute [1752], 181. Türk, School of Clavier Playing [1789], 301. Quantz holds that cadenzas, as extempore embellishments, should "sound like impromptu inventions." Türk advises performers to prepare cadenzas for important performances in advance and deliver them as if they were improvised fantasias.

53 Meier, Thematisches Werkverzeichnis, 79. "L 2n: Kleines Einzelblatt mit den Kadenzen zu einem Kontrabaßkonzert. Inhalt: Kadenzen in den Tonarten D-, A-, und D-dur." [L 2n: Small single sheet with cadenzas for a contrabass concerto. Contents: Cadenzas in the keys of D, A, and D major.] Meier does not attribute these cadenzas to a concerto. My doctoral thesis shows how the fermata before and the incipit after the Adagio lead-in match bars 54-55 of the Romance in Concerto No. 16. See J. M. Sperger, Konzert Nr. 16 in D-Dur (T16) für Kontrabass und Orchester (Klavier), ed. Klaus Trumpf and Miloslav Gajdoš (Vienna: Doblinger, 2015), 8 (solo part) and 22 (score).
