This work possesses a wonderful combination of beautiful lines and very technically-challenging, brilliant variations based on a simple yet touching theme. Five variations based on the theme follow a solo-violin introduction and the piece concludes with a bravura finale. I greatly enjoy playing Wieniawski’s compositions as his music is very close to my heart. Piotr Filochowski
