Serge Prokofieff: Violin Concerto 1 In D Op19

1.Andantino 2.Scherzo: Vivacissimo 3.Moderato - Andante The work opens ethereally, gains momentum and becalms; this describes both the opening movement, and the piece taken as a whole. The three movements begin in D major, E minor, and G minor respectively, and the work closes in a manner similar to that of the opening movement, seeming to climb peacefully. The concerto is scored for moderate-sized orchestra with a small percussion section.
