"Originally scored for four viols concertante (quinton, viola d'amore, viola da gamba, and basse de viole) ... The manuscript, belonging to the collection of Charles Guillon ... and bearing the catalogue No. 718, has no indication as to date of composition.  No reference to the work exists in Alfred Wotquenne's Thematisches Verzeichnis"--T.p. verso.

"Deliberate falsification by Henri Casadesus ... first appeared [ca. 1905] ... as a concerto 'for four viols concertante' ... continued through a well-known arrangement commissioned from Maximilian Steinberg by Serge Koussevitzky in 1909 (Concerto instrumenté pour petit orchestre, Paris: Edition russe de musique, [1912]"--Helm, p. 108.
