Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64
by Felix Mendelssohn
ViolinRomanticConcerto~25 minprofessional
One of the most performed violin concertos in the repertoire. Revolutionary for its time: the soloist enters immediately rather than waiting for an orchestral exposition, and the movements are connected without pause. The singing first theme is instantly recognizable.
