Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was not a violinist. But he did have the great fortune to be best friends with the world-famous violinist Joseph Joachim. Joachim kept asking Brahms to write a concerto for him, and finally the composer agreed. However, Brahms did not want to write a showpiece in the conventional style, but he was looking at a hybrid between a concerto and a symphony. Brahms offered the concerto manuscript to Joachim for suggestions, and both kept refining and revising the work for a long time. In the end, Joachim even wrote the Cadenza for the first movement. The third movement is one of the best songs of classical violin music as Brahms paid respect to the Hungarian-born Joachim by including a distinct gypsy flavor.

3) Twenty Violinists Play Twenty Masterpieces, as played by various fantastic violinists. Where else can you hear the likes of Auer, Sarasate, Joachim, Ysaye, and others, if only for a few golden minutes apiece?

I think so far the cd's reccomended on a whole are very good for any violinist to have in their collection. Also, I think it reflects everyone's tastes in music, and how they enjoy hearing certain works performed.

Rick, yep, the Wieniawski was one of his specials. Just never got round to it I guess. The Paginini he did went out of his repertoire fairly fast. I don`t think Heifetz realy empathized with Paginini so much. However, some people say that he was also smart in avoiding comparisons with the young Menuhin and to be honest, one can see why in this -one- instance. I think it all came togeher for the great boy in that concerto and his recording is one of the seven wonders of violin history- i find it rather scary. Pity he made such a pigs ear of it late r though...

Glory of Cremona. I've been looking for that for a fair while on CD. Last copy I saw was in a music store in Sydney about 5 years ago. I should have pounced there and then but I didn't. Do you know of a current source? Strad magazine does not seem to list it either :(

April 6, 2004 at 02:57 PM  Jonathan the most I can do for you is burn you a copy of the CD I have. I have done this for a few people here. Give me your address and I'll send you a copy of the Glory of Cremona CD with Ricci. This CD in my opinion is Ricci's best playing and most expressive playing he has done. Hands down he had his own personal sound, that's what I admire most in a musician. He plays 15 different Violins, but his tone and style come thru on all of them. He recently recorded another CD which I think is his last recording ,he is 83 and retired, called The Legacy of Cremona which is still in print on CD. This time he plays 15 contemporary violins. He is still in pretty good shape here I think at 83 years old!!. I would grab it while you can before it goes out of print.

I think one of the most important books on violin playing was `The Way They Play Vol1` Here, appallingly badly written, are the fundamental thoughts of the the great violnists of history. Had I kept my little respected collection when coming to Japan I could be a millionaire now...

November 20, 2004 at 09:15 PM  Before writing everything I must say I have hundred of violin Cds (even rare boxes as Heifetz collection: 7 cds with his earlier recordings from 1929 to 1949) of every kind of work played from almost every famous soloist, and after having listened each one I can say that Mutter is the best violinist of ever (even her live concerts are stunning), she can touch the soul of a person like no other.

April 16, 2005 at 10:08 PM  What interesting and great lists. I've got so many favorites that I don't know where to begin. However, limiting myself to solo violin concerto performances, and the ones I find myself listening to over and over, they include:

April 20, 2005 at 01:59 AM  Well, I have to say that after a quick glance on Ebay, my Top One would have to be one of those CDs which contain a zillion .pdf files of every violin work under the sun.

-Beethoven Op. 127 with the Vermeer Quartet (Shmuel Ashkenazi, first violinist)-when the intonation in four part writing is so perfect that you hear overtones on the recording and get some out-of-this-world sound, you know something is up.

April 22, 2005 at 01:14 AM  Amadeu, I had Weber's Sonatas on LP with Pikaizen which I presented to my best friend because I really liked it(some people could think that I am crazy...). Actually I enjoy listening to Pikaizen, he was one of the best students of Oistrakh. Especially I like his playing of Mendelssohn e minor.

This is an extensive list of the most beloved and famous violin pieces written for our instrument! If you have ever had the desire to explore the vast range and imagination of composers, or just want to know more pieces for the violin in general, look no further!

Choosing just 10 violin pieces from the classical music repertoire is difficult because there are so many to consider. I listed some of my absolute favorites and some of the most famous violin pieces which I hope you will love and enjoy!

Composers love to write pieces for the violin and orchestra in duet with each other; this is called a concerto. Each time period expands the possibilities of our instrument, and I hope you will explore and enjoy the many languages of these composers!

The Baroque Era was a time when composers like Bach and Vivaldi were experimenting with instruments and ensembles. Many innovations from this era helped establish a foundation that helped music progress through history.

The Classical Era of Music is a period that derived from the enlightenment, where composers and the general public became significantly more aware of facts and science. Unlike the Baroque era, music from this era was concerned with symmetry and simplistic beauty rather than experimentation.

His Violin Concerto in D major is an important contribution to the violin repertoire and has beautiful and memorable melodies just like his most famous melodies above. The concerto itself is one of the longest violin concertos written and is also one of the most challenging.

The fourth of five concertos, K.218 is in D major and is spritely in character. From the beginning of the first movement to the rondo finale, Mozart exudes his youth-like character into the music and invites the listener to have fun and play with him. The final concerto, K.219 in A major, is in the same fashion.

Italian violinist Niccol Paganini composed his first and second violin concertos which feature literal acrobatics and impressive violin technique. The composer inspired an entire generation of violinists to write works that were equally challenging and impressive. He is the first of a long lineage of violinist-composers who pushed the boundaries of what the violin and instruments, in general, could do.

The Accolay Concerto in A minor is one of the very first concertos I played when I started practicing violin concertos. This piece is beautiful and fun for students and performers of all ages. It was written with the student in mind but also contains some brilliant sections for the violinist to show off!

Erich Korngold has an interesting life story, and his Violin Concerto in D major is a testament to his genius and talent. He was first known as an opera composer before signing an exclusive contract with the Warner Brothers for their films. Eventually, he composed his violin concerto and shook the world. The premiere was a success and has maintained a great stature in the violin repertoire since.

Violin Show Pieces are pieces that were composed for violinists to show off their capabilities and range of emotional performance. They are often light-hearted and single-movement pieces that impress the audience rather quickly.

Sarasate wrote many famous solo violin pieces, but the Carmen Fantasy is the most famous and challenging of them all. Being a Spaniard as well as a famous violinist, Sarasate arguably was able to emulate Carmen much closer than other composers had.

The Chaconne from Sonata No. 2 in D minor is the single most famous and celebrated violin piece in the history of solo violin music. Although it sounds like two or three violins are playing at all times, this piece is written for a solo violin and takes the listener and player on a religious journey. There is nothing like it.

Paganini wrote a book of advanced violin studies which he performed and toured with. The 24 Caprices for solo violin are some of the most challenging and exciting short pieces in all of the repertoire. Caprice No. 5 has one of the most famous introductions in all of the caprices and is exciting from beginning to end. Even more famous is Caprice No. 24. The theme from this caprice inspired many composers after Paganini to write their own renditions.

The violin and piano are basically best friends and love to play with one another. The piano supports the violin, and the violin supports the piano. Combined, the two instruments create an intimate and powerful duo!

These sonatas written for the violin and piano are some of the most loved. They are beautiful, Vienesse, and challenging all-in-one. They are both masterworks and pieces worth learning to play and listen to.

Beethoven sonatas written for the violin and piano are quite important in classical music. Sonata No. 9 was written for violinist Rudolphe Kreutzer who, ironically, never performed the difficult piece.

This list is exhaustive but filled with music from around the world, and from many different times in our history. When you have a moment, listen to any one of these pieces. Soon enough, you will find yourself more inspired and more in love with the violin before you started reading! 006ab0faaa
