<title>Peter E. Lange-Müller + Moritz Moszkowski vc's</title>
<link>http://www.violinist.com/blog/jenohubay/20133/14450/</link>
<description>From the unknown Danish composer &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Lange-M%C3%BCller"&gt;Peter Erasmus Lange-Müller (1850-1926)&lt;/a&gt; I only had the conductorsheetmusic of 185 pages. So I copied and pasted the soloviolin from that on half A-4's to get the solopart. He wrote a lot ""ossia"" which means 2 possibilities how to play the solopart.
Violin Conerto opus 69 in C minor (1904)
Movement 1 : Moderato
Movement 2 : Allegretto Sostenuto
Movement 3 : Allegro giocoso
&lt;iframe width="500" height="281" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Szl_6hMT2Gc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
The composer &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moritz_Moszkowski"&gt;Moritz Moszkowski (1854-1925)&lt;/a&gt;
also wrote a 
Violin concerto in C majeur, op. 30 (dedicated to Emile Sauret)
Movement 1 : Allegro comodo
Movement 2 : Andante
Movement 3 : Vivace

<title>Rieding opus 21,25,34,36, Küchler opus15, Járdányi Concertino NOT AVAILABLE ON CD!! for violin+orchestra</title>
<link>http://www.violinist.com/blog/jenohubay/20132/14367/</link>
<description>How to make a classical cd that will sell well, although you are not the best violinist in the world?? : Record Rieding op. 21,25,34,36, Küchler op15, Járdányi for violin + orchestra on cd because IT HAS NEVER BEEN RECORDED on cd.

Itzhak Perlmann has recorded Rieding op.35, Seitz op.13 and Accolay1 for violin + orchestra on cd, and several Polish pianists and violinists have recorded some violin concertos for children and adult beginners (see below). But Küchler op.15, Rieding op.21,25,34,36, Járdányi concertino HAVE NEVER BEEN RECORDED on cd for violin + orchestra, although these pieces are high of my best, best-seen videos (see below) on my Youtubechannel, in my top-10 list of the last 4 ½ years that &lt;a href=" http://www.youtube.com/user/HenriVieuxtemps "&gt;Violin concerto Youtube channel 'HenriVieuxtemps'&lt;/a&gt; has existed, and of my last year (because some violin concertos are not so long on my channel and are therefore not seen so often) .  

You should expect that often-played  iron repertoire pieces like Bruch1, Mendelssohn, Tsajikovsky, Brahms and Beethoven would be high in the top-10, because they are also on &lt;a href=" http://www.youtube.com/user/HenriVieuxtemps "&gt;Violin concerto Youtubechannel 'HenriVieuxtemps'&lt;/a&gt;, next to many unknown, obscure  (and sometimes 2th rank) violin concertos.

So you can see that in the CD market, there is a big eagerness to buy these pupil-violin concertos on 1 or 2 cds of an average professional soloist (because the difficulty level of these concertos is not high) + professional orchestra of about 13 string-players (3 1th violinists, 3 2nd violinists, 3 violas, 3 cellos, 1 double bass).

Every child who begins with violin lessons or every adult beginner you can give such a cd on his/her birthday as present, and than they have a good reference how to play those pieces from their violin lessons. Küchler op.15 with orchestra + Járdányi with orchestra you van find on YouTube: Küchler 

&lt;iframe width="500" height="375" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UWBbanG5spU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
Járdányi:

&lt;iframe width="500" height="375" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dT3TKq_fPnk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;

So a new challenge for professional violinists is not to record the Bruch1/Mendelssohn-cd, Beethoven + 2 Romances-cd, Tsajikovsky +Lieu Cher-cd, Brahms-cd , because we have enough of these of big names from the past and this time, but instead to record these sort of childish violin concertos . The 4th and 5th violin concertos of Paganini are also in my Top-10 lists. They are never played in concert halls (only the 1st and 2nd sometimes) and seldom recorded (like Arthur Grumiaux who recorded the 4th and Accardo who recorded the 1-6). So that is another hole in the market. But perhaps the reason these Paganini Concertos are recorded so seldom is that it is too difficult -- and Rieding is recorded so seldom, because it is too easy. 

OK, the 2 Bach violin concertos are recently quite popular and in the Top 10. But how many professional violinists will read my arguments on Violinist.com and will change their market strategy, and how much influence I will have (in the conservative violinist world)?  I think there is a bigger chance of a new Bruch1/Händelssohn-cd than a Rieding op. 21,25,34,35,36, Küchler op. 15, Jardanyi-cd or a Paganini 4,5-cd.

<description>Earlier I had played the 3th,4th and 5th violin concerto of Mozart. 130 km from my home an amateurorchestra played the 2nd violin concerto of Mozart. I could join as 2nd violinist and hereunder fragments of the concert on 1 april 2012. Recently I discovered that the soloist Lisette Carlebur (16) had won a youth competition. Here the final with the 1th Schumann sonata:

<title>3 months frozen left shoulder</title>
<link>http://www.violinist.com/blog/jenohubay/20131/14330/</link>
<description>Like Vengerov I also have had shoulderinjuries, 2 times a frozen shoulder. In 2008 my right shoulder. I skated on artificial ice with a icehockey shoulderprotector. I fell and thought : everything is ok, because I have enough protection. 2 weeks later I skated 200km on nature ice with a little pain in that shoulder in 10 ½ hours, but a month later I hardly could move that shoulder. A lot of pain, but I adapted my shoulderrest, so my violin was in a more vertical position so I could reach easier the G-string, because I hardly could lift my right arm. In the beginning I only could bow with my right pulse and moving my left arm with violin to the right and the left. Full recovery took a year. I decided never to skate on artificial ice in my life any more. But last januari 2012 there was nature ice so I had to skate. But suddenly I fell on my left arm. I had pulseprotectors, a downhillsuit with elbow- and shoulderprotection and my icehocheyshoulderprotection, so I thought this time I was even better protected, but still had the feeling that my left shoulder was not 100%. But playing in orchestras and having lessons was no problem. In the summer I visit my physiotherapist and he said that I needed perhaps 8 treatments to get the shoulder 100%. During that time I used my shoulders a lot as postman and with some amateurorchestras which started in september. My shoulder deteriorated and at that time I had 20 physiotreatments. During violin playing I got pain, so I played often half rehearsals. During a 2nd violin group rehaersal for the Sacre of Stravinsky I played the whole evening while my left elbow rested on a table in a classroom to dimish the pain. That was too much for my shoulder. The next day it was frozen and very painfull and I had to cancel the Sacre which I will perhaps never play again in my life. But now the recovery is much faster. The exorotation is now 74 degrees and must be 90 for a healthy shoulder. I could play 30 and 40 minutes, but had problems to get my left elbow good under the violin. Last week I could play a whole reheral of an orchestra without pain. </description>
