Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major, Op. 35

The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 is a violin concerto by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1878. Rooted in the late-Romantic tradition, it combines expansive, lyrical melodies with virtuosic solo writing and rich orchestral textures, and it occupies a central place in the violin repertoire and in Tchaikovsky's late-1870s output.
