Max Bruch’s First Violin Concerto

Music Map

Available for 26 days

Max Bruch’s First Violin Concerto is Sara Mohr-Pietsch’s destination on today’s Music Map. Bruch was badly ripped off in the process of publishing this work, and we’ll hear from other composers who were similarly swindled. Sara also has music by the man who made the concerto famous; and some other showstopping violin works by the likes of Bach, Stravinsky and Stephane Grappelli.
