Jenö Hubay's Violin Concerto No. 3 in G minor, Op. 99 is a virtuosic and expressive work for solo violin and orchestra. It was composed in 1908 and premiered in Budapest the same year, with Hubay himself as the soloist. The concerto is divided into three movements. The first movement, marked Allegro moderato, begins with a dramatic orchestral introduction before the solo violin enters with a lyrical and expressive theme. The movement features a number of technical challenges for the soloist, including rapid runs and double stops. The second movement, marked Adagio, is a beautiful and melancholic slow movement, with the solo violin singing a mournful melody over a lush orchestral accompaniment. The final movement, marked Allegro energico, is a lively and energetic finale, with the solo violin racing through a series of virtuosic passages and cadenzas. Hubay's Violin Concerto No. 3 is characterized by its rich and expressive melodies, its technical demands on the soloist, and its lush orchestration. The work is a testament to Hubay's skill as both a composer and a violinist, and remains a popular and challenging work for soloists today.
