Potpourri Op. 94 (“Fantasy”)

Hummel's “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, “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.
