| | Violin Concerto (Brahms) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Violin Concerto is considered one of the most important works in the violin repertoire. | | | Brahms wrote three other concerti: the Piano Concerto No. 1 (1859), the Piano Concerto No. 2 (1881) and the Double Concerto (1887), for violin, cello and orchestra. | | | Since the violin is tuned G'D'A'E, the open strings, resonating sympathetically, add brilliance to the sound. |

| | During this section, the bassoon echoes the minore theme after it is first heard in the violin, which can remind the listener of the third variation in the second movement in which the bassoon also played with the violin. | | | 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. | | | Ludwig van Beethoven's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major was written in 1806. |

| | Violin Concerto (Tchaikovsky) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Violin Concerto in D major by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is one of the best known of all violin concertos. | | | Tchaikovsky wrote only one concerto for violin, but wrote three other concerti, all for piano, with the Piano Concerto No. 1 by far the best known. | | | Swift progress was made, and the work was completed within a month despite the middle movement getting a complete rewrite (a version of the original movement was preserved as the first of the three pieces for violin and piano, Souvenir d'un lieu cher). |

| | The solo violin dominated autocratically and the orchestra remained subservient. | | | No violin cadenzas were written by Beethoven, though he wrote cadenzas for the piano version, and violin cadenzas were subsequently written by Joachim, David, Kreisler and many other celebrated violinists. | | | Piano concertos were more popular during that time, and Beethoven was persuaded to write a piano version, which was published the following year, a year before the composer subjected the violin concerto to a final revision. |

| | Johannes Brahms - Concerto for Violin |
| | The Violin Concerto stands as one of the largest and most challenging works in the solo violin repertoire. | | | Brahms composed this, his only violin concerto in the summer of 1878, and it was first performed at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, on January 1, 1879, with the composer conducting. | | | The violin's opening music presents a fiery variant of a melody fully introduced later in the movement above the orchestra's presentation of the lyrical main theme. |

| | Notherby's :: Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto [Hybrid SACD |
| | In this recording of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D major all of his positive attributes are now enhanced with a lush, even tone and an intimate approach to one of the violin blockbuster pieces. | | | Romance Of The Violin (Live From New York In Concert) | | | I've always viewed the first movement as being more of an orchestral piece than a violin solo, and because the solo parts are slower, the speed of the orchestra seems ponderous and lacks life. |

| | INKPOT#63 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: SHOSTAKOVICH Violin Concerto No.1 - An Ink-troduction |
| | The upper registers of the violin are used to their full extent, lyrical and invading, lilting over adept orchestrations. | | | Overall, the the Violin Concerto No.1 and Symphony No.10 show a great kinship, though vastly different are their magnitudes and directions. | | | Although containing many personal elements, the Tenth Symphony is a very outward looking expansive work; the First Violin Concerto is very inward-looking, introspective, halcyon and unrestrained alternatingly, more in character with the nature of the violin. |

| | Concerto |
| | See also: piano concerto, violin concerto, harpsichord concerto | | | It is unnecessary to speak of the other movements of concerto form, as the sectional structure that so easily results from the opposition between solo and orchestra is not of great disadvantage to slow movements and finales, which accordingly do not show important differences from the ordinary types of symphonic and chamber music. | | | The most usual kind of concerto is one that pits a solo instrument against a full orchestra in three movementss. |

| | Today we were listening to some 19th century violin concerto and it hit me: it is a preposterous image. | | | Perhaps the violin is an unlikely hero in the 19th century; but if that is the case, than the cello is even less so in the 20th. | | | Of course the rhetoric of the concerto is that the soloist triumphs, but then goes on to make beautiful music with the orchestra anyhow. |

| | Violin Concerto, Op. 14 |
| | The Concerto opens expansively, with a full-blown lyric theme, stated by soloist and orchestra together. | | | The second movement is introduced by a songful oboe solo which is allowed to run its course unhurried before the violin takes over, at first with a new theme and then with the one sung by the oboe, which returns in more or less its original form at the end of the movement. |

| | The first movement begins with an unaccompanied presentation, by the solo violin, of the principal theme, which is composed of broad melodic intervals and rhythmic contour, in contrast with the more jaunty second subject. | | | The violin itself remains an instrument of enormous expressive power, and the urge to contribute to its repertoire is great. | | | The Concerto, composed in 1974, waited for its premiere until January 29, 1981, when it was introduced by the violinist Mark Peskanov and the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, Leonard Slatkin conducting. |
