One of the most popular of all violin concertos, Tchaikovsky composed this work in 1878 in Clarens, Switzerland, on the shores of lake Geneva where the composer was recovering from a depression brought on by the failure of his disastrous marriage to Antonina Miliukova. This classic edition of the work contains a piano reduction by the composer and a separate solo violin part edited by Carl Flesch.
