It was the first piece for violin and piano that Schubert had composed for almost a decade. It was written for the twenty-year-old Czech violinist Josef Slavik (who also commissioned Schubert's Fantasy in C, D 934 in 1827), and was first performed by Slavík with the pianist Karl Maria von Bocklet in 1827.
Artaria published the score in April 1827 as Rondeau brillant, Op. 70, [1] and is the only one of Schubert's six violin-piano works to reach print during his lifetime.
