Mokry Violin Concertino in G for Violin and String Orchestra

Mokrý: Violin Concertino in G major (Arr. Violin and String Orchestra)

Mokrý's Violin Concertino in G major is one of those well-designed pedagogical pieces that punches above its technical weight: a three-movement concerto that sounds like a proper concert work while staying entirely in first position. For a Grade 3–4 violinist, that combination is genuinely useful, and it's what has kept the piece in the teaching repertoire since its composition in 1936. This arrangement sets it for solo violin and string orchestra, giving the solo line a full orchestral backdrop.

At nine minutes across three movements, it's a substantial piece for the grade level, long enough to anchor a junior concert programme.

Key features

• Instrumentation: Solo Violin + String Orchestra (Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello, Double Bass)
• Difficulty: approximately ABRSM Grade 3–4 (solo violin)
• Duration: approximately 9 minutes
• Style focus: string crossing, legato bow control, vibrato, détaché and spiccato, rhythmic precision (all in first position)
• Format: PDF download, full score and all parts

This works well as a solo feature in school concerts, junior music service events, and youth orchestra programmes where a young violinist needs a piece with real concerto structure and musical weight. The fact that it stays in first position throughout makes it accessible to a wider range of Grade 3–4 students without sacrificing musical substance. Teachers will find it a well-paced vehicle for developing bow technique, vibrato, and ensemble awareness in a genuinely musical context.
