Congrats Aimee, it's ALWAYS an honor to be asked to solo. You must play very nicely.

There are several Stamitz concertos which are nice, and have easier string parts than the Mozart.

Walter goes to music cabinet........

....and comes back empty handed....I have got to stop loaning music!

Anyway, take a look at Karl Stamitz Konzert #3 (I believe that's right). I have played it before with good success.
