Looking to perform the electrifying first movement of Bruch's Violin Concerto but can't find a version that stands alone? You're not alone! Many violinists have wished to perform this stunning movement by itself, but the original score's bridge into the second movement makes that impossible. Until now, that is!
We've created a unique, high-quality arrangement that takes the original full orchestral score and expertly reduces it for string orchestra. This arrangement not only preserves the brilliant orchestral texture but also includes a newly composed, ending. This new ending brings the movement to a tranquil close, so you can perform it as a standalone showpiece without needing to play the entire concerto.
Key Features:
- Instrumentation: Solo Violin with String Orchestra (Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello, Double Bass)
- Difficulty: Advanced (Grade 8+), for professional and advanced student players.
- Arranger/Editor: Meticulously arranged by Paul Wood, with a newly composed ending by Paul Wood.
- Format: High-quality PDF for instant download. Printed editions coming soon.
- Fidelity: Based on the original full orchestral score, ensuring authentic string writing and a beautiful texture.
Why It Matters
The first movement of Bruch’s Violin Concerto is a monumental work in the repertoire, full of passion, drama, and sublime melody. By offering a version of the first movement with a stand alone ending, we're giving violinists an opportunity to perform this movement with a string orchestra.
