All ?ve of Mozart’s violin concerti were composed by the 19-year-old prodigy in 1775. Wolfgang studied violin with his father Leopold, a well-known composer and an important violin pedagogue. In his compositions for violin, young Mozart demonstrates complete understanding of the violin, as well as his genius as composer. During his teens, he spent several months in Italy, where he devoted much time studying the compositions of the ?nest Italian violinist-composers such as Giuseppe Tartini, Pietro Locatelli and Pietro Nardini. In addition, Mozart befriended Thomas Linley, a violin student of Nardini who was the same age as Mozart and became known as the “English Mozart.” The Italian in?uence is present in all of Mozart’s violin compositions. In his Concerto No. 5, the orchestra’s introduction (Allegro Aperto) is followed by the solo violin’s entrance (Adagio), followed by the solo violin’s exposition with the orchestral introduction as the accompaniment. The second movement (Adagio) is one of the ?nest in violin literature, however, at the request of the ?rst soloist to play the work, Mozart composed the Adagio in E Major, KV 261 as a substitute for the original slow movement. The last movement, Rondeau, is based on a minuet theme. In the middle of the movement, a section of Turkish-themed music is written, lending to the nickname of this concerto as “Turkish.” This indispensable performance edition includes the Cadenzas of Joseph Joachim, with the practical bowings and fingerings by Jascha Heifetz’ acclaimed student, Endre Granat, informed by decades of virtuosic performing experience.
