     The one of the reason I like Tchaikovsky is that he can not only compose piano concertos or overtures but also violin concertos and symphonies. Therefore, this week I will share the only violin concerto  Tchaikovsky made in his whole life time.



     This violin concerto is considered one of the four greatest violin concertos for it need splendid technique  to perform this composition. With the accompany by the orchestra, you will have the surprise that it is the ultimate composition for very professional violinist to challenge their performing skills.


     However, I think it is the destiny that every artist must encounter, the strict criticisms. Tchaikovsky received negative comment when he showed this composition to other musicians. Nonetheless it did become more and more popular eventually. I guess people who give negative comment to Tchaikovsky initially find this composition is hard for them to perform XD.

     The video I share this time is performed by a famous violinist called Heifetz (海飛茲). This man is a legendary, I might introduce him later on.

  1. This also one of my favourite pieces of him! I remember that this concerto is so highly esteemed that is said that whichever segment you pick, the melody comes equally passionate and beautiful. Cantabile!!

  2. Though Heifetz is indeed a legendary violinist, well known for his fast, accurate pitch, I want to introduce more violinists. Mutter, also one of nowadays famous master, plays different music of Tchaikovsky, more passionately. Here's the link :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9P79-1_iGU
