F. X. Richter, one of the foremost exponents of the Mannheimer School, was a prodigious and versatile composer whose instrumental output comprises about 70 symphonies, 6 harpsichord concertos, flute concertos, several string quartets, as well as trios, duets and solo pieces. His vocal compositions (almost exclusively sacred works) are equally numerous: an oratorio, more than 30 masses, 2 passions, about 50 motets, several cantatas, lamentations, a Te Deum and other pieces are known. Richter was also the author of a comprehensive theoretical work, a collection of essays with the title Harmonische Belehrungen oder grundliche Anweisung zu der mus. Ton-Kunst oder regularen Composition [Harmonic lessons or thorough instruction on the art of music or regular composition]. For flute duet or violin duet.

Igudesman translates the familiar Happy Birthday tune into the style of classic violin masterpieces in a seamless exposition. An opening passage a la Bruch gives way to a Sibelius-like phrase, then continues in the styles of Mozart, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, and on. Quotes from the concerti are intermingled with the ongoing Happy Birthday theme to create, truly, The Soloist's Ultimate Happy Birthday. For two violinists of intermediate to advanced skills.
