Factoids:
- A concerto is a multi-movement (usually 3) work written for solo instrument and orchestra.
- Completed in 1878, this may be the most famous and technically demanding violin concerto of them all.
- Was finished just two years after his famous ballet Swan Lake.
- Although numerous references in pop culture have made his ballets recognizable, his symphonies and concerti are truly masterworks.
- His first piano concerto is also one of the most noteworthy written for the instrument.
- I enjoy the playful nature of this opening movement.
- There are exciting passages where the soloist will play a multi-textural line.
- One part being the primary theme, and the other an accompanimental figure.
Happy Listening!
