Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 1 in G, Op. 40: Full Orchestra, Solo Strings with Ensemble, Conductor Score & Parts

ROMANCE NO. 1 IN G MAJOR, Op. 40, composed in 1801, is one of two romances written for violin and orchestra by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827). Its date of composition was preceded by the ROMANCE NO. 2 IN F MAJOR, Op. 50, although its publication took place in 1803, two years prior to the publication of the other work. Thought by some to be the middle movement of a violin concerto that Beethoven either abandoned or lost, the piece is constructed in rondo form with a lyrical theme flanked by contrasting episodes. Instrumentation: 1.2.0.2: 2.0.0.0: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Violin in set.
