Violin Concerto 2 in D Minor, 1st Movement by Wieniawski

Wieniawski was a Polish violinist and composer. His second concerto is considered one of the finest works he ever composed, and is a turbulent piece, with both lyrical melodic lines (as in when the solo violinist enters for the first time) and technically challenging passages with difficult shifts, string crossings, and up-bow spiccatos. This piece was dedicated to Pablo de Sarasate.

I selected the song “I Remember Clifford” because of the emotional range the piece allows. The history of the song is about the short life of the legendary Clifford Brown that passed away tragically at the age of 23. The song takes me to a place where I get lost in the music and my horn seems to take over.
