The Rondo op. 2 was composed in a phase in Voriseks life, when everything indicated, that his career as musician and composer was going to be outstanding. He had been newly appointed first conductor of the recently founded Musikverein and stood at the center of the development of that kind of chamber-music euphoria that defined Viennese music culture of the period. As a pianistic bravura piece the composition invites to join in for a feast of chamber music, optionally with violin or cello as partner. The vocal-like coloratura passages of the theme bring in an atmosphere of Italianitá, inspired by a famous Arietta da camera, the Bolero of Gaetano Piantanida, that was often performed in music salons of Vienna.
