Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 2 in F, Op. 50
Composers:- Beethoven, Ludwig van
Duration: 9
Description:
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) wrote two romances for violin and orchestra, one in F and one in G. While the Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 2 in F Major, Op. 50, was published later and has a higher opus number, it was actually composed earlier (1798) than No. 1 in G. Thought by some to be the middle movement of a violin concerto that Beethoven either abandoned or lost, it is believed that the work was first performed in 1798. Pastoral in nature, the work is a conversation between the soloist and the modest orchestra, with elegantly simple melodies that require a tender expression from the soloist. Instrumentation: 1.2.0.2: 2.0.0.0: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Violin in set.
