Concerto for Violin No. 4 in D minor, Op. 31 [Alf:36-A222448]

Henri Fran§ois Joseph Vieuxtemps was a Belgian composer and violinist. He occupies an important place in the history of the violin as a prominent exponent of the Franco-Belgian violin school during the mid-19th century. He is also known for playing upon what is now known as the Vieuxtemps Guarneri del Gesı, a violin of superior workmanship. His concerto No. 4 is not considered one of the great "masterpieces" of the literature, it remains a favorite among violinists and is often performed.
