Violin Concerto No.1 in B-flat major, K.207 (1773)
Cadences: Arthur Grumiaux
1. Allegro moderato (0:00)
2. Adagio (6:40)
3. Presto (13:38)
Arthur Grumiaux, violin and the London Symphony Orchetra conducted by Sir Colin Davis
rec. April 1962
Violin Concerto No. 1 in B-flat major, K. 207, once was supposed to have been composed in 1775 (when Mozart was 19), along with the other four wholly authentic violin concertos. However, analysis of handwriting and the manuscript paper on which the concerto was written suggest that the date of composition might have been 1773. It has the usual fast-slow-fast structure.

Mozart was 17 years old when he wrote this.

I love the Asian culture, but your comment appears racist!

@@bobalessio6339 it isn’t that racist for the reason that some Asian parents force their children to practice non stop on a certain activity. I’m Asian too by the way, I don’t find it that racist😊

[@lucpraslan]

It starts the same way as the bassoon concerto, K. 191.

[@bartjebartmans]

Mozart wrote so much and so many works at the same time that it is no wonder themes and motifs pop up in more than one work. It shows a cohesiveness of thinking. Bruckner comes to mind in this regard as well. Always seeing and hearing new possibilities for a theme or motif.

Wonderful Mysliveček, as usually

[@jb1980ist]

While I've always enjoyed these relatively early concerti, I do wish Mozart had returned to the concept in his full maturity.

[@bartjebartmans]

The reason is simple. Mozart was also a very fine violinist but he just couldn't handle the sound of it so close to his ears. It started to annoy him so much that he lost interest in writing more concertos. Same happened with the flute.

[@brianr.3085]

Many people feel that way. We still have the Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola, though.

[@bartjebartmans]

@@brianr.3085 And here you mention one of the great works of the repertoire... That slow movement...... WOW

[@bartjebartmans]

@@DanielFahimi strange question. Money of course. Mozart either wrote on commission or for his own concerts and use. He rarely, if ever, just wrote a piece for the heck of it. It all had a purpose.

Where's the cadenza scores?

[@normalvinegarghost2646]

Back in Mozart's day (abd earlier), the composer didn't write out the cadenza. They left it up for the soloist to improvise. Beethoven was the first to break this tradition which is why you might see the cadenzas being written out in romatic concerti.

[@ShombitKumarPodder]

@@bartjebartmans i meant, the solo part is missing in score. Look yourself once. The parts before and after solo are written and it is showing, but the solos are missing. The written notes of the solos are not in the score that is in the video. I am asking out of curiosity. Because it must be somewhere. Or may be the solos are on the spot made by the principal violinist. I don't know.

[@cooldude1]

@@ShombitKumarPodder improvised cadenza bro

[@gabrielegardini285]

There isn' t a part, because the first violin invent a part. In all the versions the solo parts before end are different

[@normalvinegarghost2646]

Ah you seecthat's the cadenza. A candenza is usually a part of a movement in a concerto where the soloist gets to flex and the orchestra doesn't play. The end of such cadenzas are usually marked by a trill signalling the orchestra they need to play the coda (=ending of piece or movement). The reason why it hasn't been written down is because, at least in the time of Mozart and before, the composer would leave this bit empty and the soloist has to improvise. There are some scores with pre-written cadenzas, buf traditionally speaking it has to be improvised which is why those bits don't appear on the score. Fun fact: If I'm not mistaken, Beethoven was the first to write his cadenzas out and basically put an end to this tradition of improvising the cadenza and so giving the composer a brilliant opportunity to bully the soloist personally (as if they haven't had enough opportumities for that before lol)
