The concerto evidently appeals to HK Gruber, as symphonies do not.

Ambiguous examples of the form are his early Concerto for Orchestra (1960–64) – concertos for orchestra are by definition ambiguous – and Frankenstein!!, his ‘pan–demonium’ (rather than ‘

Genre-stylistic features are outlined, their individual and common features are revealed, which testify to the preservation and development of the tradition of the concert genre, the reinterpretation of the Brahms concert model in a new cultural context.

Above this initial compositional level he then superimposes Beethovenian formal structures gleaned from the latter’s opp. 53 and 135, in addition to a prominent Stravinsky quotation from The Rite of Spring, part two.

Recent studies of bassoon music in twentieth-century Russia have unearthed a rich trove of previously little-known repertoire. Despite the abundance of original Russian bassoon music, little of it approaches the sophistication of the bassoon writing within the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russian symphonic tradition. One work which does come close to equaling those aesthetic standards is Lev Knipper’s Concerto for Bassoon and String Orchestra (1970), which confronts the bassoonist with far greater expressive and technical demands than previous Russian solo bassoon works.

Prokofiev had a specific approach to the modernist aesthetic that is worthy of a special study from a new perspective: eclecticism. There are two distinguishable views on his achievement in modern music. One is the Western version, which sees his eclectic approach as not innovative enough in comparison with modern composers such as Stravinsky. The other view is from the traditional Soviet approach, which holds Prokofiev in the highest esteem. These sources largely ignore Prokofiev's Paris and American periods.

Abstract:
Abstract It is possible to imagine this Concerto as the outcome of a liaison of Stravinsky with Ravel. “I set out to display the musical qualities of the various soloists in the wind and brass groups as well as their virtuosity,” Martin wrote, “and so I made the music brilliant and technically difficult. But I also tried to make the most of the characters of sonority and expression of the seven instruments, which differ so greatly in the manner of producing sound and in their mechanism.” Both the virtuosic element and the conversational manner lead to an engagingly playful, sportive music. This work comes from a time when the writing of concertos particularly interested Martin: the Petite Symphonie concertante for harp, harpsichord, piano, and two string orchestras dates from 1945, the Violin Concerto from 1951, and the Harpsichord Concerto from 1952.

Abstract:
Abstract Mendelssohn’s earliest experiment with the concerto is that in D minor for violin and string orchestra. It was composed in 1822, a year after the early Sonata in G minor for piano. The two works have points in common: in both of them the outer movements are influenced by Haydn and Mozart, and the slow movement is more individual than the rest; but the Concerto is the stronger and more interesting work. The first movement gives ample evidence of Mendelssohn’s love for Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D minor, which he often played with great success. Structurally the most original feature is the recapitulation; there is no pause for a cadenza, and the two main themes reappear in reverse order, the second going through some impessive modulations. The Finale is more Haydnesque, especially in the resourcefulness with which its single vivacious theme is treated.

Abstract:
Abstract By the time of Corelli’s death in 1713 many Italian instrumental ensembles had taken on attributes of an orchestra. They were based on violin-family instruments; they used several players on each part; they played as unified ensembles. A distinctive repertory of music was beginning to emerge for such ensembles-concertos, sinfonie, and concerted sacred music-and instrumental ensembles were beginning to assume their own identities, distinct from singers and other musical personnel. Corelli’s ensembles in Rome had been pioneers and leaders in these developments, but they were not alone. Ensembles with some or all of these characteristics could be found in Bologna, Turin, Venice, and several other Italian cities.

Abstract:
This chapter reflects on the legacies of Sibelius’s Violin Concerto in D Minor (op. 47), noting the establishment of the Sibelius Violin Competition and listing violin concertos composed by Finnish composers after Sibelius. It discusses concerto writing as an exploration of the relationship between soloist and orchestra. By situating virtuosity as a trope in relational thought within philosophical discourses on human tendencies, this chapter argues that a politics of possibility emerges because the element of risk in a virtuoso’s performance is haunted by a moral drama played out on public stages with uncertain outcomes. This chapter, and the book as a whole, ends by moving away from a political view of the concerto to the question of how performing traditions are formed over time. The chapter concludes with a reading of the Sibelius violin concerto within the long ecological histories of musical transmission.

Abstract There are very few violoncello concertos; and of those that exist the listener and the player will prefer the ones in which the violoncello can be heard. The violoncello is a sonorous instrument with twice the compass of the violin, whose top notes it can reach with as little effort as if it had no low notes to climb from. It has also a wide range of effects, many of which are ingenious; but the temptations of the ingenuity are towards the gruntulous and the grotesque, and the solo violoncello may easily be driven to develop these qualities in the effort to assert itself against an orchestra which is always normally above it in pitch.

Abstract After he put Fidelio aside, Beethoven’s major artistic preoccupation became the set of three ‘Razumovsky’ string quartets in F major, E minor, and C major of op. 59, composed mainly between April and November 1806. This trilogy stands at the centre of a splendid series of masterpieces from that year, including the Fourth Piano Concerto op. 58, the Fourth Symphony op. 60, and the Violin Concerto op. 61. An orchestral ambition surfaces in the imaginative sonorities and enhanced scale of some movements of the ‘Razumovsky’ quartets, from the broad opening Allegro of the F major Qyartet to the nervously emphatic finale of the C major.

Abstract:
Abstract Albeniz appeared in a concert on 7 March 1889 at the Teatro de la Comedia in Madrid with the orchestra of the Sociedad de Conciertos conducted by Tomas Breton. The programme included his Suite caracteristica for orchestra, made up of arrangements of three piano works: the Scherzo from his Sonata No. 1, ‘En la Alhambra’ (‘inspired by Arab legends’), and ‘Rapsodia cubana’ (‘an exact transcription of the rhythm and melodic design of Cuban songs’).1 Albeniz also performed his Piano Concerto No. 1, or Concierto fantastico. Despite its title, the work is conservative and straight forward in nature. The lengthy Allegro first movement is in sonata form with a principal theme in A minor and a secondary theme in E major. Much of the melodic inspiration, in addition to the tonality, seems indebted to Schu mann. The second movement supposedly expresses ‘the vagueness of a dream’ (‘la vaguedad de un ensueiio’), and it is probably this ‘fantasy‘ element that inspired the concerto’s title. It is divided into two sections: the Andante‘s principal theme is clearly derived from the opening theme of the Allegro, while the second section, marked ‘presto’, is a scherzo in the style of Mendelssohn. The final movement, Allegro, is dominated by the piano and is once again based on themes related to those of the first move ment. Albeniz‘s Escenas sinfonicas catalanas (‘Symphonic Catalan scenes’) also appeared on the programme. This work depicts a country fiesta in the mountains of Catalonia and consists of four sections. The first is in sonata form and includes a third theme of a popular character that recurs as a leitmotif in the third and fourth sections of the work. The ‘Idilio’ (‘Idyll’) paints a picture of two lovers. The ‘Serenata‘ features a quartet of strings with violin solo.
