Brahms Violin Concerto
I choose the discus how Brahms’ Violin Concerto is similar to prior concertos in this course.
Brahms violins concerto can also be similar to prior concertos we have heard throughout the course because Beethoven and other famous composer wrote concertos for instruments like the violin, piano and woodwind instruments. Brahms violin concertos can also sound like the prior concertos because he wrote the concerto to rival earlier violin concertos composed by Beethoven.
Brahms violin concerto is similar to the other concertos because it is a solo written for one instrument.
Another reason it sounds similar to previous concertos is because when composers both Brahms and composers before him had some of the same technique to make the concerto
stand out whether it was playing softer that the soloist or not playing at all.
For example, in Concerto No. 1 in E major the piece begins with a strong violin solo and then other instruments come in, but they never overpower the violin or the solo instrument. Even when the violin is played very soft the other instrument either play softer of stop altogether. There are some points in the piece where the other instruments in the orchestra play louder but that is to complement the violin. Then when you listen to Violin concerto in D major the piece also starts off with a strong violin solo and just like the Concerto No. 1 in E major the other instrument do no overpower the violin. The orchestra complements the violin and makes the soloist part so richer and more enjoyable.
