Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) wrote his Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77, in 1878. He composed the work for his longtime friend, famed violinist Joseph Joachim, who premiered it in Leipzig with the Gewandhaussaal on January 1, 1879, Brahms himself conducting. The program also included, at Joachim's insistence, Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61, on which Brahms modeled his own concerto. While the critical reception of the time was mixed, the audiences at the various early performances received the work well. Most complaints directed at the concerto addressed the role of the solo violin, noting that the soloist does not offer much of the melodic material or include much in the way virtuosic passages, a consequence of looking more towards Beethoven's serious aesthetic rather than Paganini's flashy one. Joachim himself, before a falling out with the composer over personal reasons, included Brahms' concerto among the best German offered, saying: The Germans have four violin concertos. The greatest, most uncompromising is Beethoven's. The one by Brahms vies with it in seriousness. The richest, the most seductive, was written by Max Bruch. But the most inward, the heart's jewel, is Mendelssohn's. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.0.0: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Violin in set.

Trained as a violinist in his native Tehran, composer Behzad Ranjbaran eagerly drew inspiration from the traditional Persian kamancheh and its delicate, lyrical sound when creating his profoundly luscious and brilliant Concerto for Violin and Orchestra. This work was completed in 1994 and premiered in England by Joshua Bell, who also gave the first American and Canadian performances. The Concerto for Violin and Orchestra is the recipient of the Rudolf Nissim Award from ASCAP, and it was supported in part by a grant from The National Endowment for the Arts. The solo part with a piano reduction as well as a large score are available on custom print. For advanced players. Duration: 31'.From my early years studying violin at the Tehran Music Conservatory, I was captivated by the sound of the kamancheh, an ancient Persian bowed instrument considered one of the ancestors to the modern violin. I was pleased when the National Endowment for the Arts awarded me a grant to write a violin concerto as it provided me with an occasion to rekindle my fascination with the kamancheh. The notionof writing a violin concerto that would incorporate the power and brilliance of a modern instrument with the delicate and lyrical character of an ancient one was simply irresistible. Moreover, the inspiration from the kamancheh also informed my use of Persian modes, melodic, and rhythmic figures.The notes of the violin’s open strings (G, D, A, E) also influenced many of the melodic and harmonic elements of my violin concerto. The opening tutti is mostly based on intervals of a perfect 4th and 5th. The primary material for each movement incorporates notes of two of the open strings of the violin, creating a three-note melodic motif as the basis of themes:1 st movement: A-D-A2nd movement: D-G-D3rd movement: E-A-EThe overall structure of the concerto is organic and cyclical, as themes are shared between the three movements. For example, the main musical idea of the third movement is a transformation of the first movement’s primary theme. While the movements share similar musical materials, each one is definedby distinguishing characters. The first movement is conflicted; alternating between sections of unabashed lyricism and unforgivingferocity. The second movement is haunting, mysterious, and expressive with long melodic lines that vary continuously. It moves through different moods and characters including a reimagining of a traditional Persian wedding tune played by the orchestra (m. 98). The third movement is festive in character and features much brilliant passagework for the solo violin. At the climax of this movement, themes fromthe previous movements re-emerge simultaneously with greater intensity, propelling the concerto to an energetic finale. The Concerto was composed in 1994 and is dedicated to Joshua Bell.

Hillborg's first violin concerto, composed in the early nineties, is a pivotal work in his oeuvre. Composed in the wake of his highly experimental Clang & Fury and Celestial Mechanics---both of which employ complex and unconventional tuning systems---the concerto displays a more pragmatic approach, though the drama it sets up is far from conventional, with a very fluid soloist-orchestra relationship. Esteemed conductor and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen, who has recorded the concerto in 2002, has described it as one Hillborg's best pieces.

It is widely believed that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) wrote the Adagio in E major, K. 261 in or around 1776 as a replacement for the second movement of his Violin Concerto No. 5 in A, K. 219. The likely reason for the replacement is a complaint by Italian violinist Antonio Brunetti, recently brought to the Salzburg court orchestra by the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, Heironymus Colloredo, that the original movements was too artificial, according to a letter from Leopold Mozart. The Mozarts, finding Brunetti boorish and morally objectionable, also would have thought his complaint regarding the artificial second movement to confirm their worst opinions of Italian taste. Still, young Mozart wrote the replacement Adagio as requested, and its serene beauty in sonata form remains a fine example of his lyrical ability. Instrumentation: 2.0.0.0: 2.0.0.0: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set): Solo Violin in set.

Sirenen (griechisch ‚Sirenes') sind in der griechischen Sage die Tochter des Achelos (oder Phorkys). Sie waren Schadensdamonen, Mischgestalten aus Mensch und Vogel (meist mit Frauenkopf) mit ubermenschlichem Wissen und der Gabe, das Wetter zu andern. Mit ihrem lieblichen Gesang betorten sie die vorbeifahrenden Seeleute, die dadurch an den Klippen Schiffbruch erlitten und umkamen. Odysseus verstopfte auf den Rat der Zauberin Kirke seinen Gefahrten die Ohren mit Wachs und liess sich selbst am Mastbaum festbinden. So entging er dem Verderben. Orpheus ubertonte ihren Gesang mit dem seinen. Die Musen besiegten die Sirenen im Gesang und beraubten sie dann ihrer Federn, um sie alsKopfschmuck zu tragen. Dans la mythologie grecque, les Sirenes etaient des demi-deesses. Selon la legende, ces creatures demoniaques, mi-femme (tete), mi-oiseau (corps), vivaient sur trois petites peninsules situees entre Sorrente et Capri. Les Sirenes chantaient au-dessus des mers pour attirer les navigateurs et les faire perir. Certains ont, toutefois, reussi a leur echapper. Ainsi, Ulysse reussit a passer sans dommage en suivant les conseils de la magicienne Circe : il se fit attacher au grand mat de son navire pour pouvoir ecouter le chant des sirenes, tandis que ses compagnons ramaient, les oreilles bouchees par la cire. Orphee, triompha de ces creatures malefiques en etouffant leurs chantsensorcelants du son de sa lyre. On raconte aussi que les Sirenes auraient un jour defie les Muses au chant. Victorieuses, les Muses exigerent une couronne faite des plumes des Sirenes, ce qui les priva du don de voler.
