Concerto in D
1. Allegro non troppo; 2. Adagio; 3. Al!egro giocoso, ma non troppo vivace.
This work is a tribute of gratitude from Brahms to the great violinist Joachim, for whom it was specially written, and it was he who produced it on New Year's Day, 1879, at a Gewandhaus Concert in Leipzig. Joachim always regarded it as his own, and played it constantly for many years ; his interpretation of it was very broad and big, as Brahms no doubt intended. There are the usual three movements, of which the first is the longest and most elaborate. The oboe begins the second movement with a very simple little melody, and the whole movement is quiet and contemplative. The last movement is a vigorous rondo, which the soloist begins at once with the principal theme.
