Although the orchestral score and presumed set of parts for Draeseke’s violin concerto have disappeared, a violin and piano reduction is housed in the music manuscript collection of the Sächsische Landesbibliothek - Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden under the catalog entry MUS 7099-B-501. The IDG and IDS/NA thank the Library for their permission to reproduce the manuscript on the Draeseke website.

There are two folios. The first contains movements 2 and 3 (Adagio and Finale) and the second, the first movement (Allegro appassionato). This unusual juxtaposition of folios may account for the catalog entry’s parenthetical note of "unvollständig" (incomplete) and could lead one to the conclusion that there is music missing from this reduction. However, the concerto is 100% intact and all of the pages of this reduction are in perfect numbered sequence: 27 for the first movement, 6 for the Adagio and 15 for the finale and there are no measures missing or crossed out. The folios were received directly from the estate of Frida Draeseke and the catalog entry, in consideration of that, will evidently not be changed. It doesn’t take a particularly well-trained eye to note the discrepancy in the spelling of Violinconcert (instead of the more normal German: Violinkonzert) on the folio containing movements 2 and 3, and Violinconzert on folio 2 with the first movement. The handwriting seems different between the two folios, though there is no existing correspondence indicating that Draeseke paid copyists for the violin and piano reduction.
