Beethoven's Violin Concerto was the only significant work of this
genre to appear between Mozart's five concertos of 1775 and
Mendelssohn's E minor Concerto of 1844. This handbook explores the
background to Beethoven's work, its genesis, its place in the
composer's oeuvre and the influences which combined in its
creation. It describes contemporary reactions to the work both in
the musical press and in the concert hall during its first crucial
years, and explains how it was eventually accepted into the
repertory, spawning numerous recordings and editions. The principal
sources and many of the work's textual problems are considered,
including discussion of the composer's version for piano and
orchestra, Op. 61a. A detailed account of the work itself is
followed by a review of the wide variety of cadenzas that have been
written to complement the concerto through its performance history.
