		Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in E minor, Op.
		Felix Mendelssohn was in England in the summer of 1829 for the first of the nine visits he made to that country during his brief life, and was receiving great acclaim as composer, conductor and pianist.
		Mendelssohn, who admired both the man and his playing, saw to it that David was appointed concertmaster of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra when he became that organization's music director in 1835.

	Violin Concerto (Mendelssohn) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Felix Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op.
		It is in three movements, as is usual with the classical concerto since Mozart.
		Mendelssohn also wrote a violin concerto with strings in 1822 ([1], ]), which was given its 20th century premiere in 1952 by Yehudi Menuhin and is less often played and recorded.

	Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E minor (Part II)
		In just few seconds amidst the restless humming of the background strings, immediately the theme of the concerto is introduced, creating the effect that the concerto has been on for a while already.
		Interestingly, Mendelssohn wrote the cadenza (a cadenza is a virtuoso display of the soloist, usually without any accompaniment, during the end of the first and/or final movement) himself where he placed it at the end of the development.
		Till about a minute before the movement ends, after a series of thrills on the violin, the violinist is asked to bounce his bow on two strings (double-stopping) fast and light.

	Mendelssohn Violin Concerto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The first movement presents moments of simplicity when the instrumentation is reduced to bring the richness of the violin tone to the forefront, and connects seamlessly into the second movement with a sustained bassoon note that introduces this movement characterized by a swaying lyrical theme and a complicated and difficult violin solo.
		Mendelssohn reverses the tradition of violin concerti beginning with an orchestral introduction that is then followed by the soloist’s entrance; he begins directly in the middle of the action with the soloist’s theme entering above a quiet yet intense accompaniment followed by the theme repeated, forte, by the orchestra.
		Mendelssohn himself performed in public at age nine and began to preserve his compositions at the tender age of eleven.

		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.
		I have never been able to adequately decide which is my favorite recording of the Mendelssohn concerto, Heifetz's for his precision or Yehudi Menuhin's (with the Bruch concerto) for his heart-rending violin poetry.

		The violin concertos were chosen because they were born in very different circumstances but are as esteemed today as they were at their debuts.
		The Mendelssohn concerto received its first performance in 1845 and Hahn breaths new life into a finely polished concerto.
		She considers both of these concertos to be cornerstones and could not imagine her concert life with out them.

		In 1836, Mendelssohn was appointed conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, and asked that David be chosen as leader, or concertmaster.
		Ferdinand Hiller, the conductor, substituted the Mendelssohn violin concerto.
		This movement is structured in a ``question and answer'' form, with the violin and orchestra trading lively ideas and challenges back and forth with ever-mounting glee until they finally marshal their forces to agree on an ending statement that leaves the audience clamoring for more.

	[Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto] notes by Paul Serotsky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Mendelssohn was immensely gifted, multi-talented and unusually fortunate, enjoying the luxury of a very comfortable and relatively trouble-free life in which to ply his prodigious trade.
		I don’t go along with the usual idea, that Mendelssohn’s interpolated allegretto is meant, as one commentator suggested, to “carry the audience without shock from the seriousness of the andante to the humour and gaity of the finale” — a straightforward quiet start would have done that.
		Approaching the cadenza, Mendelssohn engenders a wonderful feeling of reluctance on the soloist’s part to “hog the limelight”, adding point to the cadenza’s conclusion, where the violin graciously beckons the orchestra forward to start the reprise.

		The Mendelssohn E Minor Concerto with Wilhelm Furtwaengler was taped May 25-26, 1952, the second of Menuhin's four recorded versions of a piece he knew well.
		The Bruch Concerto with Charles Munch derives from another elusive RCA LP (LM 1797), and is Menuhin's third inscription of a work that as a boy he played with Pierre Monteux and Landon Ronald.

	classical music - andante - making mendelssohn's violin concerto (almost) new again
		My theory on such concerto activity is this: Whether or not conductors like Gardiner or Jansons can still sell new recordings of standard repertory in adequate quantities, their soloists probably can — thanks to the special-occasion charisma that star players have in the concert world.
		The question isn't whether Sony needs a new Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in its catalogue or how much Midori has to offer in the work: make a disc like this available and people who leave her concert appearances wanting more of her Mendelssohn will buy it.
		Mullova's Beethoven Violin Concerto has more alternate readings than the Mendelssohn, many of which were previously heard in a widely-circulated live recording by the late Szymon Goldberg.

	Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1
		Joachim was the young prodigy championed by Mendelssohn, the virtuoso who toured with Brahms, and the great musician who left his stamp on the German violin repertoire since Beethoven.
		Bruch thought "fantasia" might be more apt because the concerto's first movement is an extended prelude or "Vorspiel." The solo part is free, highly virtuosic and lacking in conventional thematic writing.
		Bruch is well remembered today, not for his prolific choral writing, but for the Violin Concerto and for his folkloric music drawing on Scottish, Swedish, Russian and Jewish melodies.

	Mendelssohn Violin Concerto
		At an early performance of the Mendelssöhn Violin Concerto in E minor, the soloist was the 14-year-old prodigy Joseph Joachim, later the famous friend and collaborator of Brahms.
		The opening of the first movement, Allegro molto appassionato, is different from the typical classical concerto in that the solo instrument plays from the outset.
		Once again, there were beautiful passages, both for solo violin and in the form of a conversation between the violin and the wind section.

	Jascha Heifetz - The Violinist of the Century, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
		While most of the famous works in the genre are for violin, cello and piano, perhaps as a sign of his devotion to string playing Heifetz paid exceptional attention to the far rarer all-string type (for violin, viola and cello).
		The Mendelssohn is fabulous – a perfect presentation of this gossamer delight, but with due regard for the gravity of its minor tonality.
		As violin historian Tully Potter points out in his liner notes, Heifetz used gut strings to offset the brilliance of his technique, and his early electrical records captured this wondrous blend with a truly remarkable warmth.

	Piano Concerto No. 5 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The concerto is scored for solo piano, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets and strings.
		Beethoven had already done it once, with his Fourth Piano Concerto, but this work's monumental piano introduction, which takes nearly two minutes without introducing thematic material, foreshadows concerti to come, like Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto or Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto in B flat minor.
		The complexity is intensified once the piano enters with the first theme, as the expository material is repeated with far more complex variations, virtuoso figurations, complex modified chords, and the second theme enters in B major.

	Pro Arte: Mendelssohn; Violin Concerto in E minor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		When the twenty-seven-year-old Mendelssohn became director of the Gewandhaus concerts in Leipzig in 1836, he had David, just a year his junior, appointed to the position of concertmaster.
		Finally, Mendelssohn was an innovator with his concertos by choosing to link all the movements together without a break, a pattern that had been used earlier in such atypical works as Weber's Konzertstück for piano and orchestra, but never in a work having the temerity to call itself a concerto.
		A few measures of modulation lead naturally to C major and the lyrical second movement, the character of which darkens only with the appearance of trumpets and timpani, seconded by string tremolos, in the middle section.

		Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto is played remarkably splendid by the young Shlomo Mintz; those who know his performances will agree with me that his interpretations have only grown since then, but already this interpretation exceeds all performances of Mendelssohn that I have heard on recording or live.
		Bach's Double Concerto is a romantic reading of the work; a reading that people who prefer the authentic way of playing might not appreciate, but for me it is a document; a dialogue between two great personalities; a dialogue between the older generation and the younger generation.
		I am aware that Kyung Wha Chung made a video of the Mendelssohn but I have never seen it because it is unbelievably rare and difficult to get so I have no other Mendelssohn video to compare this to.

		In the Mendelssohn, Heifetz seems to lack a certain emotional element that should be present in the piece.
		Although it is not nearly as passionate as the previous concerto, there is still an element of movement that needs to be felt.
		Unquestionably, this is a classic performance of the Beethoven concerto, but it is by no means its "greatest recording," as some continue to suggest.

		Most of you able to play difficult stuff like violin concertos will play CC tubas, will be highly educated, and will know âtrumpet fingeringsâ, when reading treble clef.
		Violin concertos almost by definition cannot descend below G. A CC tuba would play any violin concerto 2 octaves below the intended pitch.
		I may have my reservations about tubists playing violin concertos even in the superb case of the Philly girl.
