Ludwig van Beethoven Violinkonzert Violin Concerto
The Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major, op. 61 was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in about six months in 1806, and is in three movements:
Cheerful but not too much
Larghetto
Rondo: Merry
The concert, dedicated to Stephan von Breuning, a childhood friend of the composer, was composed during one of the most fertile periods of Beethoven's musical production. It was first performed at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna on 23 December 1806 by the violinist and conductor Franz Clement, who probably had also commissioned the opera. The performance did not have the success that Beethoven expected, also because Clement in the middle of the concert, just after the first movement, seems to have suspended the concert starting to play his own variations on the first part of the concert. Later it was totally abandoned by the composer, who did not even want to make any changes. It was a subsequent posthumous performance that gave the concert its success. Just as Johann Sebastian Bach had been rediscovered a few years earlier with a performance of the Passion according to Matthew, this concert was also rediscovered, in 1844, by Felix Mendelssohn, in the performance of the violin virtuoso Joseph Joachim.
