Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35, was composed in 1945 and premiered in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1947. The concerto is divided into three movements: Moderato nobile, Romance: Andante, and Finale: Allegro assai vivace. The first movement, Moderato nobile, begins with a majestic orchestral introduction before the solo violin enters with a lyrical melody. The movement is characterized by its lush harmonies and virtuosic passages for the soloist. The second movement, Romance: Andante, is a tender and introspective interlude featuring a beautiful melody played by the solo violin. The movement is notable for its use of lush orchestration and delicate textures. The final movement, Finale: Allegro assai vivace, is a lively and energetic romp featuring a playful and virtuosic solo violin part. The movement is characterized by its use of syncopated rhythms and lively dance-like melodies. The concerto as a whole is notable for its use of lush harmonies, virtuosic solo passages, and colorful orchestration. Korngold's Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35, is a masterpiece of the 20th century violin repertoire. It is a testament to Korngold's skill as a composer and his ability to seamlessly blend elements of classical music with the lush harmonies and colorful orchestration of Hollywood film scores. The concerto remains a popular and beloved work among violinists and audiences alike.
