The Violin Concerto in E major, D. 46, is a composition by the Italian Baroque composer Giuseppe Tartini. It was composed in the early 18th century, although the exact date is unknown. The concerto is believed to have been written for Tartini's own use, as he was a virtuoso violinist. The concerto is in three movements: Allegro, Adagio, and Presto. The first movement is in sonata form, with a lively and energetic opening theme that is developed throughout the movement. The second movement is a slow and lyrical Adagio, featuring a beautiful melody played by the solo violin. The final movement is a fast and virtuosic Presto, with rapid runs and arpeggios that showcase the soloist's technical abilities. The concerto is characterized by Tartini's signature style, which is characterized by virtuosic violin writing and expressive melodies. The solo violin is given many opportunities to shine, with intricate runs and ornamentation that require a high level of technical skill. The orchestral accompaniment is relatively simple, allowing the soloist to take center stage. The concerto was likely premiered by Tartini himself, although there is no record of its first performance. It has since become a popular work in the violin repertoire, and is frequently performed and recorded by soloists and orchestras around the world.
