This looks incredibly hard to play, but also insanely fun once you can do it.

The comment from Taneyev below was that this piece was common place in violin recitals in the early 1900s, but that it is no longer performed.

Here is a bit of trivia regarding Souvenir de Moscou. An adaptation of it is played by a young woman violinist in the movie “in the good old summertime, ” with Judy Garland and Van Johnson. The young woman violinist is in real life Marcia Van Dyke and her character plays an adaptation of this violin piece as her performance in a violin competition. The adaptation as played in the movie is very good and plays about 2-3 minutes and shows some of the scale and dexterity of the original piece. Of course, the movie takes place at the turn of the century (in Chicago?), so the adaptation of Souvenir de Moscou played at a violin competition was remarkably appropriate ... and enjoyable to the extent that after many years of watching “in the good old summertime, ” I grew to love the performance by Ms. Van Dyke and researched to find the original of Souvenir de Moscou.

Of note is that Marcia van Dyke was the first female violinist with the San Francisco Symphony, in the 1940s.

Ejecuta con un brillantisimo sonido, con una claridad y transparencia impresionante, unido a un Virtuosismo que lo hace ser un Violinista excepcional .

hauntingly beautiful. I love wieniawski

[aramkhachaturian]

After seeing this piece for the first time 6 years ago. To all of you who can't play this right now. You will be able to do it if you practice 40 hours a day or sell your soul to the devil. make sure that violin is fun for you. You get better naturally when you play with the things you love. I can finally play this piece but when I first saw it six years ago I could barely do any of it. Work on the small things first, you won't be able to get Wieniawski on your first try. But after enough practice, you will be able to play it slowly.... and if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.

Spectacularly played... Would love to see the performer's name in the descriptions if you have access to them.

2:05 reminds me of mozarts 5 violin concerto joachim cadenza

[diannewalker]

This song looks insanely hard but insanely beautiful. I just started playing violin a month and a half ago and I'm done with the 1st book. In a few years I'm looking forward to playing this :D btw this is my mom's account and I'm 14

[PianoHypnoshroom]

2:54 The Red Sarafan (by Varlamov) is quoted here, a beautiful melody and contributes to the Russian feel of this piece

[АлександрЯрков-шз]

Bravo brilliance virtuoso grandiose music

[Taneyev]

On the first decades of past century, this piece was played on nearly every violin recital. Now has disappear. Who's playing?

[BaGlePoCkEt]

anyone who enjoyed this should listen to wieniawski's allegro de sonate. that piece is a bit more artistic and less virtuostic
