Violin works post-1960?

April 20, 2017 at 08:05 AM · You may look at the Hahn Encores for showpieces.

I think the second Schostakowitsch may also ve post 1960 (I remember something that it was for Oistrakhs 60th birthday)

April 20, 2017 at 10:11 AM · Thinking about Hahn, there is also the Jennifer Higden concerto.

April 20, 2017 at 06:46 PM · Corigliano Red Violin caprices are great.

April 20, 2017 at 07:26 PM · Butterfly Lovers Concerto is 1959 but you should still check it out - because of the Chinese influence it's pretty unique!

April 20, 2017 at 07:29 PM · Night Music by Ned Rorem, 1972. Some beautiful movements, though I would not call it a showpiece.

April 20, 2017 at 08:31 PM · the 2nd DSCH concerto is from 1967. The violin - piano sonata is from 1968.

April 20, 2017 at 08:33 PM · It depends on what you need, but Piazzolla's Etudes for solo flute or violin can be effective. I do not know if they were written post-1960.

Miklos Rosza has an excellent solo Violin Sonata from the late 60s. Not a showpiece, to most tastes, but well worth a look.

April 20, 2017 at 09:10 PM · Subito, by Witold Lutoslawski is an effective showpiece. It's from the 1990's.

April 20, 2017 at 09:18 PM · Some contemporary composer could sell a lot of sheet music writing an accessible, virtuosic work specifically for these audition requirements. :-)

April 21, 2017 at 03:50 PM · Gorecki, Notturno for violin and orchestra.

Joan Tower, violin concerto, 1991

Mason Bates, Violin concerto, 2012

David Diamond, Violin concerto #3, 1976.

Google any major composer and It's likely you'll get a violin something.

April 21, 2017 at 08:30 PM · I have written a really nice Romance for Violin and Orchestra

(You can find it on youtube -Sylvan Moir, Romance - will get it.

It is well played there by the soloist, but the orchestra needed a lot of work . If you want to try it , tell me and I can send you my email or something.
