A Technical and Pedagogic analysis of Wieniawski's Violin Concerto No.2

This thesis aims to deal with the famous Violin Concerto no.2 of Wieniawski who is a member of French violin school and a virtuoso soloist during the mid-nineteenth-century. Wieniawski was admitted to the master class of Lambert Massart, a member of French violin school which many violin treaties and pedagogies came from. Wieniawski was a soloist when he¡¦s young. He settled in St Petersburg from 1860 to 1872 and exerted a decisive influence on Russian violin school.
The first chapter is to introduce the main bibliography, the motive and the search process of the thesis. Also it is to make a survey of violin schools, soloists and important violin concertos before Wieniawski. The second chapter is to present the life, works and performance style of Wieniawski. The third chapter goes to discuss Wieniawski Violin Concerto no.2 and analyzes technique he used. The forth chapter is to mainly discuss several teaching ways for Wieniawski Violin Concerto no.2, including the levels of students and solutions of techniques to help different students. The fifth chapter concludes the four chapters above.
After Beethoven, the violin concertos developed along three independent lines. One inherits tradition and stressed the musical value, another follows the virtuoso path, and the third is the new type of ¡¥national¡¦ concerto. Wieniawski Violin Concerto no.2 is an important virtuoso work like Concertos of Paganini and Vieuxtemps. Among the virtuoso works, this concerto is one of few works that could combine technique dexterity and music value.
Wieniawski Violin Concerto no.2 is the fifth level of the String Syllabus by American String Teacher Association. There are many works in the same Level, like the Concertos no.4 and no.5 by Mozart, the Concertos no.7 and no.9 by Rode, the Concerto no.22 by Viotti, the Concertos ¡¥four seasons¡¦ by Vivaldi, ¡¥Havanaise¡¦ by Saint-saën, ¡¥Devil¡¦s Trill¡¦ by Tartini and so on. Compared with those works in the same level, Wieniawski Concerto no.2 is more difficult in technique. It is a bridge between the fifth and sixth level and a virtuoso violin work.
