3. Allegro Giocoso. Ma Non Troppo Vivace

Johannes Brahms' Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77 is one of the best-known of all violin concertos.

It follows the standard concerto form, with three movements in the pattern quick-slow-quick:

1. Allegro non troppo
2. Adagio
3. Allegro giocoso, ma non troppo vivace - Poco piu presto

Originally, however, the work was planned in four movements like the second piano concerto. The middle movements, one of which was intended to be a scherzo, were replaced with what Brahms called a "feeble Adagio."

The work was written in 1878 for the violinist and friend of Brahms, Joseph Joachim, who was the dedicatee. Brahms asked Joachim's advice on the writing of the solo violin part. The most familiar cadenzas used in the work are by Joachim, though a number of people have provided alternatives, including Leopold Auer, Max Reger, Fritz Kreisler, Jascha Heifetz, and George Enescu. A recording of the concerto released by Ruggiero Ricci has been coupled with sixteen different cadenzas.

The work was premiered by Joachim in Leipzig on January 1, 1879. Various modifications were made between then and the work's publication by Fritz Simrock later in the year.

Performed by: Jascha Heifetz

"That's it, ladies and gentlemen!"

Brahm's Violin concerto D, Mozart's Requiem, Beethoven's Concerto's, Bach's Goldbergs, Passion According to St. Matthew-and all of Chopin, anything of Chopin..MattMJR is right..we're all finished. I used to attend Bernstein's Philharmonic children's concerts and would watch as he went wild, flinging and flopping, dripping by the end..and either you 'got it' or you didnt. But sorry to say, nothing contemporary, NOTHING compares, either in composing or artistes with the early 19th & 20th century

I don't like how they play it.

It's not bad or anything, but they make Brahms sound too mundane.

[Biribeau]
