	Beethoven Violin Concerto
		Beethoven's towering musical concepts, mirroring the spirit of reform, democracy and revolution, and his idiomatic treatment of the violin and pianistic thinking, had to wait for a later era to be appreciated.
		Beethoven was aware of the conflict between his vision and the performance practices of contemporary violinists, and assigned four staves to the violin solo, in order to leave room for alterations; in many places the four staves are filled.
		Beethoven had studied the concerti of his contemporaries and predecessors; while Rode's technical propensities were too intricately violinistic to appeal to Beethoven, the influence of Viotti's characteristic use of broken octaves and Kreutzer's elaborating of a melodic line in triplet passages were put to good use in the concerto.

	Ludwig van Beethoven - Violin Concerto
		Beethoven often dedicated his compositions to aristocrats who might pay handsomely for the privilege.
		Soon afterward, Beethoven prepared a revision of the work in the form of a piano concerto, which, upon publication, would be dedicated to Breuning's new bride Julie.
		Beethoven, who had been in the habit of visiting the young couple at their Vienna home and improvising for them at the piano, was reported to have been particularly fond of his good friend's wife.

	Violin Concerto (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ludwig van Beethoven's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major was written in 1806.
		The work was revived in the 1840s, well after Beethoven's death, with performances by the violinist Joseph Joachim, with the orchestra led by Felix Mendelssohn; ever since it has been one of the most important works of the violin concerto repertoire, and it is frequently performed and recorded today.
		The solo violin's entrance, after the original statement of the first theme by the orchestra, is considered to be one of the hardest to pull off in the violin repertoire, due to a combination of sparseness of scoring, technically difficult octaves and the exceedingly long orchestral opening that precedes it.

		Violin and piano concertos are the most common because these two instruments have the greatest range and versatility, but concertos have been written for almost every instrument of the orchestra including percussion.
		A concerto is differentiated from a "symphony", which is a work for an orchestra that is usually in four movements, and which you won't hear on albums of classical solo artists.
		Sarah Chang recorded the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto at a younger age, and her management didn't claim her to be the youngest-ever for that work either.

		Beethoven's Violin Concerto was the only significant work of this genre to appear between Mozart's five concertos of 1775 and Mendelssohn's E minor Concerto of 1844.
		This handbook explores the background to Beethoven's work, its genesis, its place in the composer's oeuvre and the influences which combined in its creation.
		It describes contemporary reactions to the work both in the musical press and in the concert hall during its first crucial years, and explains how it was eventually accepted into the repertory, spawning numerous recordings and editions.

	Ludwig Van Beethoven: Violin Concerto in D, Op. 61
		Beethoven's violin concerto holds an exalted position in all of classical music and has a special niche in the violin concerto repertory.
		After the premiere Beethoven subjected the solo part to a thorough revision and the first edition was proofread and authorised by the composer himself.
		Viewing the whole disjointed compositional process from go to whoa, we have remarkably enough inherited a violin concerto that is superbly poised and elegant; in turn playful, majestic, lyrical, piquant, lucent.

	Classical Net Review - Maestrino - Beethoven/Brahms - Violin Concertos
		Beethoven's Violin Concerto was written for Franz Clement who premiered it under the direction of the composer.
		After a long orchestral introduction "…the violin, with quiet authority rises from the receding orchestra, and by way of a light-footed mini-cadenza leads us to the return of the first theme, including the five drum taps." As I put it, the violin emerges from the orchestral fabric and soars into the stratosphere.
		The sweet tone is darker than in the Beethoven; once again he wrote his own cadenzas and it is obvious that he is making music and not just playing it.

	Classical Net Review - Beethoven/Bernstein - Violin Concerto/Serenade
		With his violin concerto, Beethoven pulled off a major miracle: possibly the most noble, most mature of all concerti (not just for violin, either) without writing a whole lot of notes.
		The violin says hardly anything (compared to, say, the Mendelssohn and the Tchaikovsky, both favorites of mine) and yet expresses "thoughts too deep for words." Whereas most concerti ask for a hero, this one asks for a soloist as sage.
		The playing is clean, the short strokes of the violins give off sparks, the builds to climax and the backing away absolutely superb, especially at the first major cadence out of which the soloist rises, almost out of nowhere.

		Beethoven wrote this concerto in a different period than the music Heifetz is good at.
		The Beethoven concerto is certainly stunning, played pitch perfectly by Heifetz, and would be worth the price of the disc by itself, but the Mendelssohn concerto is an absolute tour de force.
		I aver with all sincerity that Mendelssohn's E-minor is the greatest violin concerto ever written, and you would be hard-pressed to convince me otherwise.

		The difficulty might be attributed to Brahms being chiefly a pianist (this may also explain the technical demands Tchaikovsky made in his violin concerto).

	Beethoven Violin Concerto Favorites...PART II
		The most technically and musically accurate performance of the Beethoven violin concerto is without a doubt the ones (more than 6 versions available on the market,most of them live) with David Oistrakh.
		I love the Beethoven Violin Concerto and he definitely wrote some stuff that's bad in my opinion and the concerto is definitely not one of them.
		The violin provides the ultimate contrast, for there are many passages (such as the solo violin's first introduction) in which you don't really pick up the beat at all.

		Although much of the concerto does sound classical, I think the Beethoven was quite a leap in terms of the writing of violin concertos.
		I believe Beethoven was in the transitional state when he wrote this, meaning he was moving from the classical way to the romantic.
		He played the concerto for Kreisler (the biggest influence on his playing), and the great man was amazed that he had it not perfect, with the exception of a few chords which he played in different inversion.

		At worst I feel that he detracts from the character of the concerto and gets in the way of Beethoven.
		Compare this with Oistrakh: throughout his performance there is sense of perfect balance and development, not measured or studied or strained - it is merely that all the beauty and ecstatic joy of this concerto sings through as Oistrakh plays: nothing is obscured, everything is expressed, there is a true harmony of musician and music.
		In his autobiography Yehudi Menuhin tells hearing from a ship's tannoy a performance of the Beethoven Violin Concerto as he would have dearly loved to play it.

		Here is a collectors' item in a true sense, the Beethoven Violin Concerto as performed 9 February 1942 with violinist Adolf Busch (1891-1952), the eminent pupil of Joseph Joachim and Jeno Hubay.
		Busch played the Beethoven Concerto as early as 1910, and he had as his mentor the eminent Brahms conductor Fritz Steinbach, who was no less an influence on Arturo Toscanini in German music.
		In the Beethoven Concerto, we have a collaboration with Adolf's high-minded brother Fritz Busch (1890-1951), whose moral principles made him reject the Nazis' offer to make him the highest musical authority in Germany.

	Violin concerto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A violin concerto is a concerto for solo violin (occasionally, two or more violins) and instrumental ensemble, customarily orchestra.
		Traditionally a three-movement work, the violin concerto has been structured in four movements by a number of modern composers, including Dmitri Shostakovich, Igor Stravinsky, and Alban Berg (in the latter, the first two and last two movements are connected, with the only break coming between the second and third).
		In some violin concertos, especially from the Baroque and modern eras, the violin (or group of violins) is accompanied by a chamber ensemble rather than an orchestra—for instance, Vivaldi's L'estro armonico, originally scored for four violins, two violas, cello, and continuo, and Allan Pettersson's first concerto, for violin and string quartet.

		I first became an admirer of Anne Sophie Mutter with her first recording of the Beethoven Violin Concerto--done when she was 16, with von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic--so it is with both excitement and trepidation that I put the CD of this new recording on.
		This solid style of early Mutter was well-suited to the Beethoven Concerto because it brought out the stately elegance of the piece and, in particular, the "stillness" of the second movement.
		She talks about how von Karajan decided when she was "ready" for Beethoven and how they worked on the piece together-but her tribute also makes you think whether the young Mutter, brilliant as she was, was playing the good pupil and whether the older Mutter is now signaling that she is her own person.
