The concerto's first movement is long and relatively peaceful, and the Larghetto
verges on the ethereal. The final movement, a Rondo, makes a decisive break with
this air of contemplation. Beginning with a famous 'hunting horn' theme, it's a joyous
and boisterous finale to one of the more serene violin concertos in the repertoire.
