A great deal of Dmitry Kabalevsky's best-known music is either music written expressly for children to play or music that might appeal directly and immediately to the musical sensibilities of a child -- cheery, energetic stuff possessed of square rhythms and an apparently simple lyricism. Some pieces, like the Violin Concerto in C major, Op.48, of 1948, are both.
The Violin Concerto is the first of three instrumental concertos composed by Kabalevsky during the late 1940s and early 1950s and dedicated to the Soviet youth (the others are the Cello Concerto No.1 and the Piano Concerto No.3), and was first performed in fall of 1948 by 18-year-old violinist Igor Bezrodny -- not exactly a child, certainly, but the piece is not exactly a simple one either. It seems that Kabalevsky had in mind that each of these three concertos would serve as a model of an advanced study piece for young players, something more elegant (and in line with current Soviet musical policy) than the usual stuff student performers hone their skills on.
Today the piece is nearly as often played by bona fide virtuosi as by students -- a trend started immediately after the piece was premiered by David Oistrakh, who felt it an attractive enough piece to deserve professional-level performance and took the job upon himself -- and stands alongside the Khachaturian Violin Concerto of eight years earlier as a memento of those composers who fully embraced the accessible, tuneful Soviet music-making ideal of the 1940s and 1950s.
Kabalevsky's Violin Concerto is in three relatively brief movements. Snappy rhythms, a main theme with a persistent hemiola, and a cantando second theme in G minor make for a compact, cadenza-less sonata-allegro form first movement (Allegro molto e con brio). The Andante cantabile middle movement is in three clear sections; when the "A" music, with its steadily plodding accompaniment and interesting harmonic twists, returns at the end, the soloist abandons the theme to the orchestra and takes up a flowing obbligato instead. Room is found in the rambunctious Vivace giocoso last movement for a short, transparent cadenza.

Thank you 👋👍
kabalevsky taught my music teacher when she was in uni :D
WHAT THE SCALLOP😨😨
Can we talk about how gorgeous the 2nd movement is omg
omg yes, who knew a descending line of half notes could pull heart strings so hard 😍😍
You think that's gorgeous, listen to his 1st piano concerto
@@UniversalDirp that's AmaZIng (tsv reference)
My eyes : umm... easy?
My ears : ouh my god I'm crying 😢
I want play this piece
My hand : where is my brain?!
My brain : 😭
It do be hard tho. I started this piece 1 year ago and done the first movement. The 2nd one i haven’t done yet but doing the 3rd Rn.
@@spen9790 ohh waw good luck with it!!! 😀
Don't play with your brain, then.
@@ZAWARUD00 that’s like telling a person to take a test without understanding
@@ZAWARUD00this is a very brainy piece
i love this piece. so beautiful and wonderfully played.
Thanks for watching!
when ur teacher thinks you can play the Vivace giocoso movement by yourself
the rhythm of the song summed up..
quarter note = eight note
eight note = triplet sixteenth note
sixteenth note = Mach 5
thirty-second note = hyper speed
beyond: *Impossible*
Piece*
@@ha3vy dude shut the fuck up let people call it what they want it doesnt fucking matter
@@mrotss Triggered? It's a piece not a song, one should call it for what it is
@@ha3vy and what mighty council upholds this standard? why are you gatekeeping the enjoyability of an art with some petty terminology?
@@mrotss No I'm just correcting a wrong terminology, what kind of gatekeeping is that? Aren't you too sensible?
This concerto is simply magnificent. No matter times I listened to it I just LOVE it!😍
The international edition has the recommended bpm for this 1st mvmt at 112!!!! Its absolute insanity. This performance is averaging 98-102 for reference. If you set the video's playback to 1.25x you get 118-122 so the recommended speed is in between 1x speed and 1.25x. At that point, it loses all musical character
The funny thing is this was considered a "student concerto". Same with Viotti no. 22
They are student concertos though. As long as the student actually practices
Same in Cuba but yeah is a student concerto level
In Mexico too
@@franciscamiranda116 Omg! You're very young :o I'm 19, and I have to play it for my admission exam.
@@CinnamonItz Thank u, I guess hehehe, Good luck on your exam!
No one talking about the gorgeous 2nd endinng? 🥰😍😍
Kabalevsky is so much fun. Feel good stuff. Tops Prokofiev in my book.
agreed
Playing or listening wise? Kabalevsky is definitely more fun to play cause it’s forgiving. Playing Prokofiev properly is basically playing Bach
I'm 12 yrs old and I'm learning this piece. So beautiful
I'm 17 trying to learn this piece T-T good luck.
Nice!
I’m also learning 2 concertos!
i played this when i was 10 it was fun
I played this when I was 5
@@spookygroypi played this when i was unborn🤷
Ich mag sehr, dass es nicht gehetzt klingt. Sehr schöner Ton und Ausdruck!
I played this for my ABRSM Grade 8 violin exam :') I like the piece but I'm never playing unless asked to ever again-
Ooh. How did it go?
@@PentameronSV I was lucky and got Distinction passing by 5 marks. For once I'm glad I tortured myself for the aural and sightreading sections. I played slower than this _or I would've been dead and butcher the entire thing_ I could play and I didn't really have too much shaky bow in front of that strict as hell adjudicator and my intonation wavered only a bit.
@@aperson5294 Congratulations, you conquered your nerves - and I agree that aural is horrible! One day you will enjoy the Kabalevsky a lot again, and it will still be in your fingers for decades because of all that hard work.
@@aperson5294 Ik im 7 months late but I'm doing this for my DIPABRSM. It got moved up to the diplomacy levels and I'm playing it along with the Mozart Concerto
@@tsoyuku1396 Nahh you're not late. Good luck in your DIPABRSM! You've got this!!
I don't know why this isn't better known, it's a fantastic concerto!
It’s a bit… abstract?

Minunat violonistul ❤
An interesting piece, thank you for the video :)
You're welcome :)
I'm playing violin for 9 years, haven't heard it and now I really wanna play. Hope, my skills will be enough, coz I haven't really practiced for last few years(
start practicing consistently! you got this :)
@@dsigrl7561 Thanks, I already started learning it, and read first movement. Now working on intonation in slow tempo)
This is an amazing piece when played professionally. A lot more to it than just grade 3 violin technique

Jeden z utworów na mój niedoszły egzamin na akademię muzyczną w Katowicach.😊😊
Обожаю этот концерт!)))
Браво!!!
It's so beautifull
Great job, Andrew Hardy!! 🎼🎼🎼
🤝🤝🤝
Que hermoso ❤🖤😂✌
I enjoy play on the marimba...
Best piece ever. I will play it whether ppl ask me or not.
Tried playing the first movement. Still think that 1:44 sounds like a bumblebee at 1.25 speed.
but its not at 1.25 speed
Tried to play on electric guitar⚡🎸))
I’m about to start learning this to perform in January and I’m wondering if it’s out of my league
January of 2023? No, it’s challenging but with reactive it’s very doable (also considering it’s short length) but I do have to inquire about your prior pieces to truly gauge if it’s “out of your league”. If you got assigned to it b your teacher, then probably no, they know your playing probably better than yourself so just listen to them for now.
@@aro4457 Assuming they have a knowledgeable teacher with good pedagogical sensibilities and experience.
How did it go? :D
SAME MY TEACHER TOLD ME TO LISTEN TO IT AND ITS A BIT OUT MY LEAGUE I SWR
lorsque se présente chez les plus plus de 10 on prépare du kobalesky
C'est pas la même chanson. Ou si ?
Kabalevsky was turned into a nanny for a kindergarten, and he is a high-class composer.
*when your teacher gives you a week to fully learn this piece and every technique.* anywaysssss
That’s just second to illegal.
My violin teacher told me that this was what i was going to play next???? uhm are you sure about that 🤡🤡
The first movement feels as if it carries a heavy Khachaturian influence.
Merci Louis Vignac
C'est pas la même chanson. Ou si ?

Thanks!
estoy hasta el culo de tener que analizar esto en mis vacaciones de navidad
tell me if i am wrong but doesn't it sounds like video game music.

@@juliocanche7822 just took the words out of my mouth
The concert was written in 1948, i.e., many years before computer games were invented (if fact, even before computers became public knowledge). It was part of a series of concertos for young players, e.g., Violin 1948, Cello 1949, and the Third Piano Concerto of 1952. So, if you say that it was sound like music for young people, you'd be right. And you'd be again right if you assert that computer games jingle writers shamelessly copied some of the best classical music pieces.
@@nodepe shamelessly copied? Nothing is original, even classical composers copied bits of older music all to the very beginning
@@calebjlee2685 heck, beethoven copied stuff
I have to do this solo for competition and I was wondering, it is necessary to play this at dotted half note = 112? because this recording sounds really under tempo if that is the case
Your Average Young Composer oistrakh plays this at a higher speed than usual, but this recording is i think on tempo. I personally played it a bit faster
ive been practicing for 2 years and im trying to play this 0:15,fock
I’ve never played violin, so let me ask a question:
How would you rate this piece on a scale of 1 (ode to joy theme) to a 10 (ligeti) on the violin?
I'm not a violinist, but for me it'd probably be a 5 or 6?
for a violinist. 8/10. especially the 2nd movement! But overall this piece is so jolly and mysterious!
@@EASAlarmCZcams Thank you!
@Isabelle Why would it be a 4? Personally this seems pretty difficult.
I'm learning it right now, so for me it's like a 69,420,040
is there other classical music similar to this in the way that it is like a video game's ost? any recoms?

Please no advertisement in the concert! This harms the wonderful music and it´s disrespectful against Kabalevsky!
I'd never monetise my videos. Unfortunately the copyright claimants (look at the bottom of the video description) did.

Sloist conductor plz
Unfortunately, the information is not provided in the source videos, so I don't know :(
@@PentameronSV Andrew Hardy, Violin.
I came here only for the third movement but it’s clear the violinist is struggling a bit. But not too bad
My teacher thinks I can play this😭
You can. Just press the play button.
@@PentameronSV
*_how to cheat without cheating_*
You can! I thought that it's crazy too but once you try it's not so bad😊
LMFAO MY TEACHER TOO IN ACTUALLY GONA COMBUST
Bro if your teacher thinks u can play then u can
She knows u more than u in music
So trust him or her
Have confidence🫡
Hmm. Now I see it is David Oistrakh.
No. It is Andrew hardy. Oistrakh also has a recording of this piece on CZcams I believe.

I would like to say that I respectfully disagree with what seems like to be the majority of the comments here. I do not like this piece. I personally think that it’s too simple for its time. Also, I feel like the structure is odd. Particularly referring to the long dragging pizz section in the first movement. I do not think this compares well to other concertos written around this time, such as Prokofiev. I will not squander anyone else’s opinion on this piece though. Everyone has the right to speak their opinion, as I just did. I only intend to add to the discussion of this piece. I, personally, do not like it. It’s just not my taste unfortunately.
A respectful negative comment that is not derogative and actually acknowledges subjectivity and difference in opinions that is unavoidable in music?
IT'S THE SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE! RUN!
Jokes aside, you don't put down or personally attack anyone who loves this music (differing opinions, like you said), and I find this refreshing.
Slightly not-so-related, what's your favourite musical work, if you have one? Not for personal judgement for anything, just looking to expand my musical horizons and perhaps have some civilised discussion in general.
Cheers from Malaysia!
Pentameron I’m glad you find this refreshing! I was only trying to state my opinions without putting anyone else down, and I feel like it worked. I don’t mean to tell anyone that they shouldn’t like this piece because I don’t like it or something. I’m not about to tell anyone what music they should or should not like. My only intention was to put out my opinion respectfully and contribute to the discussion. There’s plenty of pieces I love that other people don’t like (being classical musician, that’s pretty much how one’s life goes).
My favorite musical work varies as time progresses, but some pieces that I have loves consistently are the Firebird by Stravinsky, Beethoven 9, Mahler 6, Bruch violin concerto no. 1 (although no. 2 and 3 are underrated, they are worth listening to), And Shostakovich piano trio no. 2.
@@rajaorr And you are completely entitled to that opinion. I can easily see how many would like this. It just doesn’t fit my personal taste, and I just wanted to see if I could add to the conversation.
:)
I personally really like this piece, but I kind of agree that the pizz section is a bit... awkward, and not exactly ideal instrumentation either considering that it's a solo violin vs an orchestra, but I'm happy to see that you have your own tastes and more importantly, tactfulness and respect! I hope you have a wonderful day!
As this is going to be the first concerto I’ve ever learned I don’t know much about awkward pizzicato sections. In my limited knowledge I like how it changes up the piece.
This concert is a thousand times better if we compare it with the 2 by Bartok, Ligeti, the 2 by Shostakovich, Berg, Szymanowsky that people praise and I really don't know why. But such concerts are a mix of meat and wood.
Ligeti kicks major ass tho hands down
I think beriot 9 is better
