| | 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. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | Double Violin Concerto in D minor, BWV 1043 (1723) |

| | Johannes Brahms - Concerto for Violin |
| | 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 Concerto stands as one of the largest and most challenging works in the solo violin repertoire. | | | 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. |

| | The violin concerto: musical analysis - Ludwig van Beethoven - Dominique PRÉVOT |
| | The Violin Concerto is the most accurate reflection of the lyrical side of Beethoven's musical personality. | | | The Concerto for Violin (Opus 61) was composed in a number of weeks between November and December 1806, an unusually short time for Beethoven. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | Mozart's solo clarinet works were tailored to the talents of his lodge brother, Anton Stadler, and Mendelssohn intended his e-minor Violin Concerto for Ferdinand David, a life-long friend who was also concertmaster of Mendelssohn's Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. | | | In the summer of 1878, while vacationing in the Austrian village of Pörtschach, Brahms began a violin concerto for Joachim. |

| | Following the orchestral exposition, the violin enters not in D major, but in D minor in an extended quasi-cadenza passage over a sustained tone in the timpani and cellos, as melodic fragments are heard echoing throughout the orchestra. | | | The violin then goes on to introduce a new, lyrical theme that it shares with the orchestra. | | | The finale, with its abundance of melodic double-stop writing for the violin, is reminiscent of a kind of gypsy-inspired music. |

| | Johannes Brahms - Double Concerto |
| | From Beethoven came a triple concerto for violin, cello, and piano. | | | Since he had previously completed his Violin Concerto, two violin sonatas, and two cello sonatas, it would seem that he would have possessed the necessary familiarity to write for these two instruments together, but Brahms was less certain of his suitability. | | | Mozart composed several double concerti for two or three pianos, one for harp and flute, one for violin and viola, and one (of uncertain authenticity) for four wind soloists. |

| | 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. | | | That is not to say, however, that he was without guidance in the specific area of writing for violin and orchestra, which he found in the music of eminent virtuoso-composers as closely identified with the violin as he and Mozart were with the piano. | | | He was also the composer of a violin concerto that was roundly admired in his own time. |

| | In the age of the bravura concerto, where the solo instrument is often merely accompanied by the orchestra, Brahms, in his Violin Concerto and two piano concertos, wrote in a truly classical manner that treats soloist and orchestra as symbiotic equals in the tradition of Mozart and Beethoven. | | | For all this instrumental music, it is sometimes forgotten that a great deal of Brahms' output was vocal music ranging from wonderful lieder in tradition of Schubert and Schumann to large choral works such as the Requiem, op. | | | Recordings of his compositions and arrangements are on the DTR label, and his guitar transcriptions are published by International Music. |
