*VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.5 IN A [K.219 TURKISH]
BY VIRTUOSO VIOLINIST ANDREW MANZE &
LONDON'S LEGENDARY ENGLISH CONCERT
ABOUT MOZART'S VIOLIN CONCERTOS NO.3, NO.4, & NO.5!
WOLFGANG MOZART'S MASTERPIECE VIOLIN CONCERTOS NO.3, NO.4, & NO.5 WERE COMPOSED FOR THE SOLO VIOLIN IN 1774 AND
1775 AT SALZBURG AND SHOWCASE MOZART'S BLOSSOMING INTO A CLASSICAL MUSIC GENIUS!
MOZART'S VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.3 [K.216] IS HIS MOST POPULAR VIOLIN CONCERTO; IT HAS NEITHER THE BOISTEROUS ENTHUSIASM OF VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.4 [K.218] NOR THE ELECTRIC VIRTUOSITY OF VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.5 [K.219]. VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.3 [K.216] IS ROMANTICALLY INTIMATE AND FILLED WITH A SWEET INGRATIATING SIMPLICITY OF MELODIES WHERE THE ORCHESTRA DECIDES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ALLEGRO 1ST MOVEMENT TO INTERRUPT THE HAPPY, CHARMING DISCUSSION AND SHOVE THE VIOLINIST INTO THE ROLE OF UNHAPPY PROTAGONIST. A LITTLE LATER ON AS A PAIR OF HEROIC SOBBING OUTBURSTS GROWS IN VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.3'S MOST SPECTACULAR MOMENT, THE FIRST VIOLIN SOLOIST IS SATISFIED AT HAVING ACHIEVED CONCORD FROM DISCORD AND LAUNCHES ITS SPELLBINDING RECAPITULATION. DURING VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.3'S CELEBRATED ADAGIO 2ND MOVEMENT, MOZART ASKS THE TWO OBOISTS TO CAST THEIR INSTRUMENTS ASIDE AND PLAY FLUTES INSTEAD. EACH FINALE RONDO 3RD MOVEMENTS OF MOZART'S LAST THREE VIOLIN CONCERTOS IS INTERRUPTED MID COURSE BY AN EPISODE THAT CONTRASTS WITH THE MAIN MUSIC FAR MORE THAN ONE NORMALLY FINDS IN A RONDO. IN K.216, THE FINALE RONDO 3RD MOVEMENT IS A DELIGHTFULLY IMPISH ALLEGRETTO WHOSE TUNE IS SO FULL OF JOIE DE VIVRE THAT THE VIOLINIST CANNOT BUT EXPLODE INTO EFFERVESCENT TRIPLET ARPEGGIOS. ANOTHER SIGN OF MOZART'S GROWING MASTERY IS FOUND AT THE VERY END OF K.216, AS THE FIRST VIOLIN'S TRADITIONAL BOMBASTIC CONCLUSION IS THROWN OUT IN FAVOR OF LIGHTHEARTED LITTLE CADENCE FOR JUST OBOES AND HORNS!
MOZART VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.4 [K.218] IN D MAJOR IS THE KEY MOST OFTEN SELECTED BY COMPOSERS TO COMPOSE THEIR VIOLIN CONCERTOS FOR IT IS IN D MAJOR THAT THE VIOLIN, BECAUSE OF THE TUNING OF ITS STRINGS, VIBRATES MOST FREELY AND RINGS LONGEST. MOZART EXPLOITS THIS TONALLY CONCOCTED CAPACITY MANY TIMES AS HIS VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.4.
EACH OF MOZART'S SUCCESSIVE VIOLIN CONCERTOS IS LONGER AND MORE EPIC THAN THE ONE THAT PRECEDED IT. BY THE TIME HE COMPOSED VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.5 [K.219 TURKISH], MOZART HAD CREATED A TOTALLY NEW VIOLIN CONCERTO CLASSICAL MUSIC GENRE THAT HAS BECOME ONE OF HIS CROWN JEWELS. MOZART'S VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.5 IS THE WORLD'S MOST FREQUENTLY PLAYED VIOLIN CONCERTO BECAUSE ITS UNUSUAL LENGTH MAKES K.219 REALLY AN OPERA IN VIOLIN CONCERTO GUISE WITH THE FIRST VIOLIN SOLOIST PERFORMING AS PROTAGONIST. IN MOZART'S VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.5, THE FIRST VIOLIN SOLOIST IS NO LONGER CONTENT TO ENTER INTO THE ALLEGRO 1ST MOVEMENT AFTER THE ORCHESTRA HAS MADE ITS FIRST APPEARANCE - INSTEAD THE FIRST VIOLIN SOLOIST OPENS THE ALLEGRO 1ST MOVEMENT. BY ALLOWING THE FIRST VIOLIN SOLOIST TO LEAD THE ENTIRE ORCHESTRA OF HIS VIOLIN CONCERTO NO.5, WOLFGANG MOZART COMPOSED THE WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL VIOLIN MUSIC!
