Tchaikovsky’s concerto for violin in D major 
by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky ( 1840  - 1893)

Despite the negative prediction by renowned critic Eduard Hanslick, Tchaikovsky’s concerto for violin in D major comes in the list of “4 great violin concertos” along with that of Beethoven , Brahms and Mendelsohn. Hanslick said that the concerto “brought us face to face with the revolting thought that music can exist which stinks to the ear."   Tchaikovsky had dedicated the work to Leopold Auer.  But Auer found the work unplayable.  Tchaikovsky later approached Adolph Brodsky who premiered the concerto on the December 4, 1881 in Vienna.

Tchaikovsky was a Russian composer of the Romantic era. It was he who conducted the New York Symphony Society's orchestra in May 5 1891 during the opening of the Carnegie Hall.  His other great works are the ballets swan lake,  the sleeping beauty (Tchaikovsky likes this the most),  nutcracker and his piano concertos.

All are great works. The best-known is the  “Double” Violin Concerto in D minor. All the great violinists have recorded it. Rather unconventional in the concerto world for violin, the focus here is not the technical virtuosity of the soloists but is more of a smooth  dialog between orchestra and soloist. The slow movement is often described as one of greatest love music.
