This work is the only substantial composition for the arpeggione (a mix between a guitar and a cello), although nowadays transcribed for cello and piano. It was probably commissioned by Schubert's friend Vincenz Schuster, who was a virtuoso of the instrument, which had been invented only the previous year.
