Beethoven wrote his violin concerto in 1806, and while it was initially disregarded it has since become one of the most celebrated in the repertoire. The first movement is generally relaxed although the middle section takes a darker tone. The second movement provides some moments of exquisite violin writing, while the finale is one of the most recognisable of all Beethoven's works, with a lovely arpeggiated theme providing momentum towards an exciting coda.
