The critic http www.classicstoday.com review.asp?ReviewNum 6486 David Hurwitz has called it the Holy Grail of Romantic violin concertos. This is a very long work with a playing time over 45 minutes and a very difficult one for the soloist. Practicing it has been likened by the violinist http www.rachelbartonpine.com mus mus 09 notes.htm Rachel Barton Pine to training to run a marathon . The concerto is in no way a mere pyrotechnic display for the soloist. It is essentially symphonic in spirit and has rarely received an adequate recording. The work is in three movement music movements that are marked Tempo Italian tempo markings Allegro un poco maestoso Romanze Andante Finale alla Zingara Allegro con spirito The Hungarian Manner is in keeping with the Joachim s Hungarian heritage. However, like most people of the time, he did not distinguish between Hungarian folk music and gypsy music . Alan Walker claims that Joachim performed the concerto, with Franz Liszt conducting, on 3 October 1853 in Karlsruhe on the opening day of the Karlsruhe Music Festival.

The concerto has two movements. Background The Concerto for Violin and Orchestra , Opus 33, was not an easy assignment for Nielsen. He began writing it in the summer of 1911 in Bergen , Norway, where he was spending some time at the invitation of Nina Grieg . It progressed with some difficulty as Nielsen, now back in his native Denmark , commented that the concerto has to be good music, and yet always make allowances for the activity of the solo instrument in the best light, that is rich in content, popular and dazzling without becoming superficial. In fact, he did not complete it until mid December. Reception The first performance followed on 28 February 1912, the same night as the first performance of Symphony No. 3 Nielsen Nielsen s 3rd Symphony .

Unreferenced date February 2007 The ViolinConcerto No. 1 in C major by Joseph Haydn , fatto per il luigi , Hoboken Verzeichnis Hob. VIIa 1 was written in the 1760s maybe in 1765 for a well known violinist of the time, Alois Luigi Tomasini who was just back from Italy and soon became the concertmaster of the Esterh zy orchestra . The piece has three movements, each written in sonata form , like the Cello Concerto No. 1 Haydn first cello concerto from that time. Tempo Italian tempo markings Allegro Tempo moderato Tempo Italian tempo markings Adagio Finale Tempo Italian tempo markings Presto In the first movement, the violin solo enters with the theme using full sounding double stop s in a major key. The second movement,which is in the subdominant key of F major is a beautiful cantilena. The Finale is full of fast runs, double stops and major changes in both volume and pitch. This indicates that this radiantly festive work was conceived to display the particular strength of Tomasini. None of Haydn s violin concertos exist today in autograph form.

Unreferenced date September 2008 The ViolinConcerto No. 2 in B minor , Op. 7, was composed by Niccol Paganini in Italy in 1826. In his Second Concerto, Paganini holds back on the demonstration of Virtuoso virtuosity in favour of greater individuality in the melodic style. The third movement of Paganini s Second Concerto owes its nickname La Campanella or La Clochette to the little bell which Paganini prescribes to presage each recurrence of the rondo theme. The character of the bell is also imitated in the orchestra and in some of the soloist s passages featuring harmonics. The outcome is a very transparent texture, which gains extra charm of Romani people gypsy coloration of the rondo theme. This movement gives proof of a compositional mastery which Paganini is too often alleged not to possess. This movement has also served as the basis of compositions by other composers, such as the tude S.140 No.3 La campanella by Liszt , and Johann Strauss I Strauss I s Walzer la Paganini Op.11. The concerto is in three movements Tempo Italian tempo markings Allegro maestoso Tempo Basic tempo markings Adagio Rondo la clochette In popular culture The piece is played and referenced to by Ethan Gold, acted by Fab Filippo in the multi award winning North American Drama Queer as Folk North American TV series Queer as Folk .

ViolinConcerto in A minor, Op. 53 B.108 is a concerto for violin and orchestra composed by Anton n Dvo k in 1879. The concerto was premiered in 1883 by Franti ek Ond ek in Prague. He also gave the premieres in Vienna and London. Today it remains an important work in the violin repertoire. The concerto s structure is the classical three movements of fast slow fast. Allegro ma non troppo Adagio ma non troppo Finale Allegro giocoso ma non troppo Anton n Dvo k was inspired to write his concerto after having met Joseph Joachim in 1878 and composed the work with the intention of dedicating it him. However, when he finished the concerto in 1879, Joachim became skeptical about it. Joachim was a strict classicist and objected to Dvo k s inter alia , or his abrupt truncation of the first movement s orchestral tutti. Joachim also didn t like the fact that the recapitulation was cut short and that it led directly to the slow second movement. It is also assumed that he was upset with the persistent repetition found in the third movement. However, Joachim never said anything outright and instead claimed to be editing the solo part. He never actually performed the piece.
