Ruders
writes: My second
concerto for violin and
orchestra is a 'reverse'
cousin of Polydrama the
cello concerto. The
former starts out
extremely slow and speeds
up gradually and the
latter progresses in
exactly the opposite way,
but whereas the cello
concerto is composed as
one, uninterrupted
stretch, the violin
concerto is formally
completely different:
there are 4 movements,
each of them combined via
a 'ritornello', a
solo-cadenza which
appears 4 times (the
works conclude with a
solo) in almost the
shape, i.e. the length
varies from time to
time.
