Concerto in B Minor, Op. 61, for violin and piano; Edward Elgar (Novello)

Edward Elgar’s (1857-1934) monumental violin concerto was written in 1910 for Fritz Kreisler. It is among the most challenging and substantial concertos ever written, with pervasive double-stopping, rapid string-crossings, and continuous shifting, all over the duration of an hour. For all of its marathon-like demands, it is also a work of profound poetic beauty and intimate, yet fiery emotional drama, taking cues from Brahms and Bruch on a Mahlerian canvas. Since its premiere, it has been championed by the likes of Menuhin, Haendel, Kennedy, and Zukerman. This extraordinary work is presented here in the composer’s own arrangement for violin and piano in a high quality edition from Novello, the piece’s original publisher.
