Violin Concert in D major

Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77 is a violin concerto by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1878 and first performed in 1879. The work displays late Romantic orchestral writing with expansive lyricism, rigorous technical demands on the soloist and rich orchestration that balances solo and symphonic forces; it is Brahms's only concerto for violin, composed during his mature period and representative of late 19th-century concerto practice.
