Today's post is about the best classical violin concerto ever written!

A concerto so simple and elegant it was the perfect composition in which Mozart finally achieved his full maturity. The Third Violin Concerto in G Major, K.216 was written in 1775 when he was only 19.

Gilles Apap performs and conducts Sinfonia Varsovia. The First movement follows below in addition to his own cadenza he wrote for the Third Movement.

First Movement


Cadenza from Third Movement

quite fantastic

The second movement holds its own distinct reputation as the sweetest and most lyrical of Mozart's concertos. The Adagio from the Clarinet Concerto could provide some competition in comparison. Christian Tetzlaff performs in the video below with Christoph von Dohnanyi and the Philharmonia Orchestra.

Second Movement

beautiful

Till next class
