Mozart: Violin Concertos

Grab your violin and dive right into Mozart's violin concertos with Metronaut! Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the most influential and prolific composers of the classical era, composed five concertos for violin from 1773 to 1776. At the time, he was employed by the court of Salzburg to perform and compose for the court, ceremonies, as well as religious services. Born in 1756 in Austria, he was only 17 at the time he started composing these masterpieces! The child prodigy started composing when he was 5, so by the time he reached his teenage years, he was already an experienced composer. During his career, Mozart wrote over 40 concertos for various instruments, including piano, flute, clarinet, and the oboe. His entire catalog of compositions includes over 800 pieces, written in just around 35 years! From sonatas to operas to symphonies, Mozart contributed to the development and enrichment of many musical forms we know and love today. The concerto is a beloved genre in classical music, offering violinists the opportunity to showcase their artistry and expression while being accompanied by the rich harmonies of an orchestra. Such a work typically has three movements: the first, usually an allegro, introduces the soloist and begins presenting the main themes which are later developed. The second is slower and more lyrical, contrasting the energetic outer movements and providing a moment of emotional depth and introspection for the listener. The final movement is typically fast and lively, often in rondeau form, and brings a joyous conclusion to the work.
