(With Pianoforte Accompaniment)
THE Movements of the Concerto are as follows :
FIRST MOVEMENT.-The interest of this lies in a happily bustling tune, taken up in alternation by the two Violin parts. Sometimes one Solo Violin starts a Tune which is then taken up (almost iti Fugue style) by the other.
Note especially the opening Tune; this is important. It often recurs, and may bo looked upon as the Main Tune of the Movement.
SECOND MOVEMENT.—This is a very expressive Movement, and has become famous. Wo have, in fact, a Violin Duet, with a quiet accompaniment.
THIRD MOVEMENT.—In spirit, style, and construction this is so like the First Movement as to call for little description.
The Solo Violins begin in imitation at a mere beat's distance, and keep up a vigorous and cheerful motion all through.
I sigh'd andpin'd ; There's nothing so fatal as woman; Fled is my love; 'Tis death alone can give me ease; I'll mount to yon blue cœlum ; I'll sail upon the dog-star; If thou wilt give me back my love.
