Rieding Violin Concerto Op. 7 for Violin and String Orchestra

Rieding: Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 7 (Violin and String Orchestra)

Oskar Rieding’s Concerto in E minor, Op. 7 sits in that sweet spot where the music is genuinely expressive, but the technique is absolutely purposeful. This new MyMusicScores arrangement is aimed at ABRSM Grade 8 / Diploma-level violinists who want a piece that sounds like a real concerto movement, while giving clear, structured opportunities to build advanced fundamentals.

The solo writing balances singing, lyrical phrasing with the kind of technical work that actually strengthens a player: extended scale and arpeggio patterns, clean shifting, confident string crossings, and octave passages “thrown in for good measure” at just the right moments. It is ideal for refining tone, line, and pacing, while also developing the stamina and polish needed for higher-level performance.
