Hi, welcome back!

Another one of these, huh.

Here are some of my favorite violin pieces (not including concertos, quartets, trios, or any other accompanied works)

Ysaÿe- violin sonata no. 3 in D minor: you may have heard me spouting how this is my favorite piece, and it is for good reason (click me!). It begins with a slow tempo including many extremes with volume, it evoles into a very fast and virtuosic piece featuring many double and triple stops. And the mood may be described as full if malice, or angry, but it does contain hints of sadness.

Paganini 24 caprices no. 24: a very famous piece, this caprice is the first piece to feature Paganini's famous theme (there are many different adaptations that have been made to it) it features 11 difficult renditions of the theme with a good finale.

Paganiniana: an adaptation of the 24th caprice, paganiniana is absurdly difficult.

Bach's chaccone: very famous and long-winded, this piece is captivating but proffers a sense of loneliness. Very difficult and very beautiful. 

Ysaÿe- violin sonata no. 6: extremely virtuosic, some people may not like it just because of how virtuosic it is, it is a neutral tone that sounds kinda Spanish.

Bach- violin partita no. 3 preludio: this is a happy, famous prelude that is fun to listen to (yep, I couldn't think of anything else).

Edit: Ernst- 6 polyphonic études, no. 6: an absurdly virtuosic piece, it's pretty calming though, I'd recommend listening.

That's all I've got on my mind right now.

Anyways, tell me your favorites out of these (assuming you listened to them), and tell me your favorites that I didn't feature on this short list (just make sure that the piece is solo and not composed in the late 1900's (post-modern era), so no pop or anything 21st century). (Have you seen this before?)

Beethoven Violin Concerto - 1st Cadenza

Wow, I'm genuinely very surprised for two reasons.

1. I didn't think anyone on here really listened to classical music.

2. I've never even looked into Beetoven, I never thought that he could have composed something so virtuosic, I'll have to look into the composers that I've neglected because I thought their music was too boring or something.

Beautiful cadenza! I always love Hillary Hahn's playing.

Even though Beethoven wrote over 700 works of music, this is the only violin concerto! It is like it was so good that he thought it could not be topped and just said "I'm done"!

Lol, we would have loved to see more violin concertos though, he kinda reminds me of Sibelius.

He composed his 7th symphony and decided that his 8th had to top it, but he never got to composing anything "better":

"despite much evidence of work on a Symphony No. 8, it is believed that Sibelius burned whatever he had written. He left No. 7 to stand as his final statement on symphonic form" -Wikipedia
