Works whose creators themselves did not think would one day be world famous: Johannes Brahms, a pianist by training, had already premiered his first piano concerto and the music world was eagerly awaiting a violin concerto by the 45-year-old. After all, Beethoven and Mendelssohn had presented masterpieces. The reviews were devastating: the conductor Hans von Bülow was of the opinion that the work was written less "for" than "against the violin", virtuosos such as Henryk Wieniawski called the piece "unplayable". Nowadays, this concerto is an indispensable part of a violinist's repertoire.
