21The first concerto by Vieuxtemps (E major) which for a long time was the test for every virtuoso of distinction, was composed in his 19th year and introduced by him in Paris with immense success. Shortly afterwards appeared his 2nd Concerto (in F sharp minor). But in reality this 2nd Concerto had been composed four years before and as Concerto No. 1 turned over to the music-firm, Schuberth & Co., to be printed. For some reason or other the work was ignored by the music-house. With the great success of the E major concerto in Paris, the firm seemed to have gained confidence in the young composer, and perhaps realizing the financial result, speedily printed the neglected work as Concerto No. 2.
