	Violin Concerto (Brahms) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Violin Concerto in D major by Johannes Brahms, his opus 77, is one of the best-known of all violin concertos.
		The Violin Concerto is considered one of the most important works in the violin repertoire.
		The difficulty might be attributed to Brahms being chiefly a pianist (this may also explain the technical demands Tchaikovsky made in his violin concerto).

	Violin Concerto (Mendelssohn) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Felix Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op.
		It is one of the most frequently performed of violin concerti, along with its more grandiose counterparts by Brahms and Beethoven.
		Mendelssohn also wrote a violin concerto with strings in 1822 ([1], [2]]), which was given its 20th century premiere in 1952 by Yehudi Menuhin and is less often played and recorded.

	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.
		Some examples include violin concertos by Dmitri Shostakovich, Igor Stravinsky and Alban Berg (Berg`s violin concerto is structured in four movements where the first, second and third and fourth movements are connected with only a break in the middle 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.

	Violin Concerto (Berg) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alban Berg's Violin Concerto was written in 1935 (the score is dated August 11, 1935).
		The concerto is structured in two movements, each further divided into two sections.
		In addition, the first four odd-numbered notes correspond to the open strings of the violin, from bottom to top, and it is exactly this gesture which opens the piece.

		Mozart's Violin Concerto no. 3 in G Major, K. This media item will not play in the Internet software you are currently using.
		Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s time in Salzburg afforded him the opportunity to compose a number of concertos and sonatas, many of which were composed for garden parties, weddings, birthdays, or home concerts for friends and patrons.
		Among the most notable of these compositions is a series of five violin concertos composed during 1775, of which the Violin Concerto in G Major is the most popular.

	The violin concerto: musical analysis - Ludwig van Beethoven - Dominique PRÉVOT
		The chance to bring to life a concerto for violin and orchestra (the only complete concerto of its kind by Beethoven) fell to the violinist and conductor Franz Clement, artistic director of the Theater An der Wien (the theatre which, under the direction of Schikaneder, hosted the premiere of Mozart's Magic Flute in 1791).
		The concerto was not completed until a couple of days before the performance itself which took place on 23rd December, and the violinist was forced to play from a score which he had barely had time to read through.
		It was the violinist Joseph Joachim, friend of Brahms (to whom his violin concerto is dedicated), who brought the concert to light in 1844; his performances of the piece were conducted by Mendelsshon and Schumann on various occasions.

	Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61
		Beethoven did not compose a full-scale concerto for the violin until he had completed all the concertos he wrote for his own use (the first four of his five piano concertos) and the Triple Concerto, in which the violin shares solo honors with the cello and piano.
		While all the piano concertos Beethoven had composed by 1806 can trace their ancestry, in greater or lesser degree, to those of Mozart, the Violin Concerto might be said to have had no models except among Beethoven's own works in other forms.
		The unique qualities of this concerto have tended to limit speculation on what sort of work he might have produced if he had composed a second concerto for the violin: this is not the sort of piece to share honors or vie for attention with companion works.

	Violin Concerto, Reviews by Alexander Machnovsky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It is a long violin concerto, with many wonderful episodes and special technical effects written for the solo instrument.
		The second movement is a true "aria" for the violin, and the third movement is a technical romp in the form of the famous "La Campanella" dance theme.
		He treats the violin like a human voice (at points the violin almost "speaks"), an approach quite different from a whole host of composers who tried to copy Paganini's technical flair but who failed to treat the violin as a kind of super singer.

		The concerto was commissioned while he was on a visit to Paris, where a group of French musicians, friends of the violinist Robert Soetens, requested a concert work for their friend with the stipulation that he was to have exclusive rights of performance for one year after the premiere.
		Part of the concerto was also composed on tour, and he completed it in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan, in August.
		It was during this tour that the concerto received its first performance; it was successful from the very first.

		He composed his violin concerto during the summer of 1953 at Rapallo, Italy, revising it over the course of the next two years in consultation with Jascha Heifetz, who gave the premiere on January 15, 1956 with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Walter Hendl.
		In addition to solo violin the concerto calls for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, percussion, harp, celesta and strings.
		The opening movement of Rózsa's concerto had reminded the director of the great violin-playing detective, the slow movement of a beautiful German spy, and the breakneck finale of the Loch Ness monster, all elements that Wilder was able to incorporate into his screenplay.

		His solitary Violin Concerto is commonly thought of as the turning point between the Classical and Romantic eras, being symphonic in its scope and rich in emotional expression.
		Her debut recording was of the Bruch Violin Concerto and Scottish Fantasy which won much praise, but it is this recording of the Dvorak secures her position as one of the world's greatest violinists.
		Her performance (on a 1714 Antonio Stradivarius violin) is sweet-toned and lyrical during the slow movements, and brilliantly crisp for the furiant finale, beautifully complemented by Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Orchestra.

		Mozart's third violin concerto, KV216, sometimes called the 'Strassburg' for a 'Strassburger' tune in its Rondo, is scored for a rather simple, chamber-sized orchestra.
		The Adagio of this concerto must be the most sublime movement in any of his violin concerti and one of the most beautiful and quintessentially "Mozartian" in his entire Suvre.

		He planned a violin concerto as early as 1838, but it was not until 1844 that he settled down to serious work on it; the finished score is dated September 16, 18 44.
		The concerto is scored for solo violin with an orchestra consisting of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, and trumpets all in pairs, timpani, and strings.
		In his last two piano concertos, Beethoven tried to change that somewhat by introducing the soloist and establishing his personality at the outset, and then proceeding with the normal full orchestral ritornello.

	Violin Concerto, Op. 14
		The Violin Concerto is frequently cited as a sort of turning point in Barber's output, a work whose first two movements reflect the ingratiating melodic-romantic style of his earlier compositions and whose finale represents the first intimations of a new and tightened approach-leaner and somewhat more austere.
		The revered critic Irving Kolodin noted that "the violin and orchestra are partners in a discussion rather than contestants in a battle of musical wills." Their discussion is not without agitated sections, but the conclusion is quiet and serene.

	Treesong & Violin Concerto - John Williams
		In essence, Treesong is a violin concerto, but maybe Williams felt that calling it Violin Concerto No 2 was a bit abstract and wanted to convey the inspiration in the title.
		The Violin Concerto itself has been criticised as quite stark and uninvolving, which is a difficult and surprising opinion to accept of something by Williams, but in some ways it's true.
		The two concertos are perhaps a little more difficult to warm to than his other concert music, there is a certain lack of lyricism in the writing and even the exciting passages are prickly and difficult.

	Johannes Brahms - Violin Concerto
		His Violin Concerto, Double Concerto for violin and cello, and three violin sonatas were all created for the very same man, Joseph Joachim, Brahms' recital partner, musical advisor, and friend for all of their adult lives.
		In the summer of 1878, while vacationing in the Austrian village of Pörtschach, Brahms began a violin concerto for Joachim.
		In fact, one observer, the conductor and pianist Hans von Bülow, even claimed it was a concerto "against the violin," and Brahms and Joachim continued revisions on the work until its publication six months later.

	Christopher Rouse - Composer - Violin Concerto
		The movement's central section offers a contrast through a seemingly heightened metabolic rate (although the fundamental tempo remains unchanged), and it is followed by an extended passage for soloist and orchestral strings which gradually lowers the musical metabolism again before yielding to an altered recapitulation of material heard earlier in the movement.
		The language of the concerto is, of course, more dissonant than that found in nineteenth century counterparts, though there are areas of traditional tonality in my concerto, and an overall orientation of C minor (first movement) and D minor (second movement) is detectable.
		Therefore this work is neither concerto nor instrumental drama; much more, Rouse forms a study in character and voice in sublime Klangfarben and fluid dialogues: from the closing chords of the opera follows the surprise and disillusionment about the only life-form in scraping ideas and raining-down drum figures.

	Mendelssohn Violin Concerto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		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.
		The final movement pays homage to the virtuoso tradition of the concerto and displays floating themes at incredible speeds that are structured as a lively conversation between the soloist and the orchestra.
		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.
