Who are the players?

[@geigenatelierbrusch469]

I think it is Gidon Kremer as soloist.

THIS is a completion of Beethoven's youthful work. Only half of it belongs to Beethoven's hand. In any case, I can see why he did not publish it even the fragment.

Nevertheless a very strong composition with in the traditional style of Mozart. I loved it from the start. Together with the pianoconcerto WoO4 it deserves a more regular apparance in concertprogramms.

@@Beethovens.Heritage Please allow me to correct the matter: We do have more than half of it. Infact almost all of it!!! We have Beethoven's Handwriting up to the reprise which is- as You know - a repetion of the exposition appart from the change of key for the second theme. What is added is only the very short coda. I agree: the charming work deserves more attention.

@@geigenatelierbrusch469 Thank you for this informative elaboration. I really find the work strong, especially in the way the motivic texture is build-up. It really shows Beethoven shows his skill to write a good violin-concerto, next to his first attempts to write a pianoconcerto. That the work was almost entirely finished except for the coda, as you state, only proofs my point. I think it was the cadenza-problem that might have prevented him to complete the work as such... Thanks for the info ! 😊👍😊

@@Beethovens.Heritage Dear Johan. A pleasure to correspond a little about this beautiful work. It is presumed that Beethoven did finish the movement completely. (Maybe there once existed even two other movements.) It is very likely to be true that just the last pages got lost. On the existing final page Beethoven filled all the paper right to the last space.
