Description
Ignaz Joseph Pleyel was a highly respected musician in his day and somewhat of an entrepreneur eventually running a world famous publishing house in Paris in the early nineteenth century. This work, originally written for two violins in 1806, imparts all the majesty and drama of a late Classical style work. Being in sonata form, assertive first subject is contrasted with a more lyrical second theme. The movement ends in a brighter major key. Your orchestra will enjoy the many contrasts in this most effective arrangement.
