Violin Concerto in D, Op. 61 - Larghetto

Violin Concerto in D, Op. 61 - Larghetto Ludwig van Beethoven One of my favourite Beethoven slow movements, for reasons that should be obvious! Heart-rending themes, excellent treatment of solo/tutti juxtaposition, beautiful harmonies... A favourite moment of mine is the return of the momentarily suspended accompaniment at 5:33. Also beautiful is the suspended phrase-end at the last repetition of the melodic figure (just before 2:03) - notice the unexpected pause before the actual tonic is played (2:06), 'finishing' the motif.
