Mozart - Concerto 2 D Major KV 211 - violin and piano

Violin Concerto no. 2 D major K. 211 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for violin and orchestra. Piano reduction.

Editor : Wolf-Dieter Seiffert.
Piano reduction: Siegfried Petrenz.

Level of difficulty (violin) : medium (level 5)

The "little" D-major Violin Concerto has no need to hide behind its "big sister", K. 218. Not only does it challenge the player’s technique, it’s a masterpiece of the first order. Henle’s edition stands out for the textual fidelity of its solo part and its easy-to-play but sonorous piano reduction. When Henle publishes Mozart’s First Concerto (K. 207) next autumn, its catalogue will cover all five of the violin concertos and all three of the single movements.
