The Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64 is a violin concerto by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1844 and first performed in 1845. The work blends Romantic-era lyrical melody and classical formal clarity with virtuosic solo writing and close soloist-orchestra interplay, and it occupies an important place in the 19th-century concerto repertoire and in Mendelssohn's output as a leading Romantic composer.
