Description
Violin and Piano edition of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Concerto in D Op.61, with cadenzas. Edited by Flesch. Published by Edition Peters.
Ludwig van Beethovencomposed hisViolin ConcertoinD major,Op.61, in 1806. Its first performance byFranz Clementwas unsuccessful and for some decades the work languished in obscurity, until revived in 1844 by the then 12-year-old violinistJoseph Joachimwith the orchestra of theLondon Philharmonic Societyconducted byFelix Mendelssohn. Since then it has become one of the best-knownviolin concertos.
No composer has had as profound and sustained an influence on immediately following generations to the present day as Beethoven. His instrumental music, especially his symphonies, served as touchstones for symphonic composition throughout the nineteenth century. The extraordinarily high standard of his music and his relative independence as a freelance composer have led to his being characterized as the greatest composer of all time.
