Violin Concerto (Rubinstein) (original) (raw)

The Violin Concerto in G major, Op. 46, is the sole violin concerto by Anton Rubinstein. Written in the Romantic style in 1857, when the composer was 28 years old, it was published by C.F. Peters in 1859 with a dedication to violinist Henryk Wieniawski. The work makes virtuoso demands of its soloist; and its character is more German in the tradition of Mendelssohn than Russian, likely all factors in its failure to claim a place in the standard repertory.
