Talk:Violin Concerto (Schumann)

We have a flag saying the neutrality of this article is disputed and to see the discussion on the Talk Page. There is no discussion on the Talk Page; in fact there hasn't been a talk page until now. Would those who dispute the neutrality like to cite those statements they consider POV?Cenedi 17:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

On adding some material to this page I discover that the tag mentioned above by User:Cenedi and removed, justifiably, has somehow reappeared. (28 Sept 2007). I have added a reference which provides a definite printed source for the material, and the article now also links to a slightly larger statement on the Georg Kulenkampff page than previously existed, and to many other pages via wikilinks. The article is therefore thoroughly wikified and I have removed the tone tag again. It would be helpful to have another reference if one is available. Kretzsch 10:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

traditional three-movement form, fast-slow-fast ??

The third movement is entiteld: "Lebfhaft, doch NICHT schnell": lively, but not fast. That many soloists tend to play it really fast (and then complain about its being unplayable), is another story.--Roazhon2 (talk) 14:40, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Joachim wrote to Schumann indicating that he had, in fact, played the work and indicating that a slower tempo for the polonaise was preferable. Presumably there had been one or more run-throughs.94.192.70.38 (talk) 08:50, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Schumann wanted it performed, but the Fantasy was performed instead

in late 1853, because (according to Geck) the General Music Society had placed an outright "ban" on this concerto (and not just because Joachim wouldn't play it.) ELSchissel (talk) 16:41, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
