Many famous violinists, from Jascha Heifetz to Sarah Zhang, have featured it in their repertoire. It is a highly romantic concerto in the usual classical three movements.
The first is a prelude, Allegro Moderato, and the second a very moving Adagio. The finale, marked Allegro Energico, is the most difficult to play.
