Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major, Op. 77 is a violin concerto by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1878 and premiered in 1879. Musically it combines demanding solo writing with expansive symphonic orchestration rooted in the Romantic idiom, balancing lyrical passages, technical display and classical formal structures to exemplify Brahms's mature style and its place in the late‑19th‑century violin concerto repertoire.
