Violin Concerto No. 1 in Full Score

A product of Prokofiev's early maturity, the Violin Concerto No. 1 in D Major, Op. 19 was described by the composer himself as representing a "softening of temper" from the tone of his early works--despite the fact that it was completed in 1917, amid the tumult of the October Revolution. Developed from a single movement into a three-part concerto for violin and orchestra, this work begins and ends in meditative, lyrical moods with a lively scherzo in between, highlighted by virtuoso passages that make it a showcase for performers. Authoritative and affordably priced, this new edition of a longtime audience favorite will gratify violinists, conductors, and students of twentieth-century music.Prokofiev, Sergei is the author of 'Violin Concerto No. 1 in Full Score' with ISBN 9780486443294 and ISBN 0486443299.
