Description:
The Max Bruch Violin Concerto in G minor was written in 1866 and revised over the next year. The work was an immediate success, achieving a permanent place in violin literature. The concerto is in three movements. The ?rst (Allegro Moderato) begins with a short cadenza by the solo violin followed by a heroic motif. It concludes with a cadenza followed by an orchestral transition. The second movement (Adagio) begins with an expressive violin solo, followed by tender, lyrical themes. A dramatic violin solo begins the third movement (Allegro Energico). After further development the movement ends with a brilliant virtuoso display. This world premiere violin performance edition includes concise fingerings and bowings by Heifetz protege Endre Granat.
