The Violin Concerto is a concerto for violin and orchestra in three movements by the American composer Elliott Carter. The work was jointly commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony and the violinist Ole Bøhn. It was completed February 26, 1990 in Waccabuc, New York, and was premiered May 2, 1990 in San Francisco, with conductor Herbert Blomstedt leading Bøhn and the San Francisco Symphony.[1][2] The piece won the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition.[3] CompositionStructureThe Violin Concerto has a duration of roughly 26 minutes and is composed in three continuous movements:
InstrumentationThe work is scored for solo violin and an orchestra consisting of piccolo, two flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), two oboes, cor anglais, two clarinets (2nd doubling E-flat clarinet and bass clarinet), bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, two percussionists, and strings.[1] ReceptionReviewing the New York City premiere, Bernard Holland of The New York Times recommended the Violin Concerto, writing:{{quote|The concerto keeps the orchestra at bay by delicate orchestrations, gaps of silence and attacks of sound in little puffs. The violin spends much of the time in its highest registers, creating a penetrating timbre that reinforces the highly ornamented legato line. The combination is one of effusive ardor played against an almost Puritan reticence.[4]}} John von Rhein of the Chicago Tribune also praised the work, commenting, "Those listeners who normally find Carter's music abrasive should be pleased to discover how lyrical and flowing this music is. Its complexities compel, rather than repel, attention."[5] Andrew Clements of The Guardian lauded the form and orchestration of the piece, writing:{{quote|The effect is of a seamless span of music that is articulated by kaleidoscopic changes of colour and textures, with a mosaic of thematic ideas in which the solo violin interacts with ensembles drawn from the orchestra, like a tapestry of chamber music in which the instrumentation is constantly changing and with the solo line weaving its way in and out of the orchestral textures as new perspectives constantly reveal themselves.[6]}} References1. ^1 {{Cite web |last=Carter |first=Elliott |authorlink=Elliott Carter |year=1990 |title=Violin Concerto |publisher=Boosey & Hawkes |url=http://www.boosey.com/cr/music/Elliott-Carter-Violin-Concerto/1608 |accessdate=August 2, 2016}} {{Elliott Carter}}2. ^{{cite book |last=Schiff |first=David |title=The Music of Elliott Carter |publisher=Cornell University Press |year=1998 |isbn=0801436125 |pages=266-267}} 3. ^{{cite web |last=Cariaga |first=Daniel |title=The 36th Annual Grammy Awards : Classical : Dual Awards for Chicago Symphony |work=Los Angeles Times |date=March 2, 1994 |url=http://articles.latimes.com/1994-03-02/entertainment/ca-29150_1_chicago-symphony |accessdate=June 18, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web |last=Holland |first=Bernard |authorlink=Bernard Holland |title=Review/Music; New York Premiere Of Violin Concerto From Elliott Carter |work=The New York Times |date=December 3, 1991 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/12/03/arts/review-music-new-york-premiere-of-violin-concerto-from-elliott-carter.html |accessdate=June 18, 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web |last=Rhein |first=John von |title=CSO offers an aural challenge with Carter's Violin Concerto |work=Chicago Tribune |date=March 8, 2003 |url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2003-03-08/news/0303080083_1_violin-and-orchestra-elliott-carter-robert-chen |accessdate=June 18, 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web |last=Clements |first=Andrew |title=Carter: Violin Concerto; Four Lauds; Holiday Overture, Schulte/Odense Symphony/Brown/Palme |work=The Guardian |date=December 8, 2005 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2005/dec/09/classicalmusicandopera.shopping1 |accessdate=June 18, 2015}} 5 : Concertos by Elliott Carter|1990 compositions|Violin concertos|20th-century classical music|Music commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony |
