Cadenzas to Beethoven Violin Concerto in D major op. 61

Cadenzas to Beethoven Violin Concerto in D major op. 61

Written by Christian Tetzlaff, one of the most interesting and most versatile violinists of his generation, this cadenza for Beethoven's Violin Concerto for violin and timpani is published by Schott for the first time.

There are no cadenzas for the violin concerto by Beethoven himself as he only wrote cadenzas for the later piano concerto version.

As a special feature, Tetzlaff uses the timpani together with the solo instrument. This is an obvious thing to do as they open the work with the simple four-note motif and dominate the entire first movement. The idea to adapt these cadenzas of the piano version to the violin concerto is obvious; Tetzlaff has managed to do that quite impressively.

For a better understanding, this edition has been designed as a performing score.
