Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61

Ludwig van Beethoven composed his Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61, in 1806. It was written for his colleague Franz Clement, a popular violinist, who had helped him with the composition of his opera Fidelio. The concert premiered in the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, as part of a benefit concert for Clement. It is believed that Beethoven finished the solo part so late that Clement had to sight read part of his performance, and to express his annoyance Clement interrupted the concerto to play a composition of his own, played on one string with the violin upside down. The premiere was not a success, and the concerto was little performed in the following decades. The work was revived in 1844 with performances by the then 12-year-old violinist Joseph Joachim with the orchestra conducted by Felix Mendelssohn. Ever since, it has been one of the most important works of the violin concerto repertoire, and it is frequently performed and recorded today.
