I was overheard while conversing on my new exploits into iTunes Plus, and asked if I could find a tune by Mozart: a violin concerto in B Minor. When time allowed I went looking and found nothing. Thinking I had the wrong info I tried Bach: and Beethoven: and zilch could be found. In the process Elgar: continued to appear along with E Minor or C Major or a Sonata rather than Concerto, and placing Mozart in the iTunes store produced 150 tunes but not the right one, I was lost.
Later in the evening I broke the query down, Mozart, Violin Concerto, B Minor and went to Wikipedia for some answers.
I started with “B Minor”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_minor and as I search the page who’s name popped up again? Elgar
So I searched for Elgar
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin_Concerto_%28Elgar%29 and what I found was the Violin Concerto in B minor, Op. 61 but it was recorded acoustically in the early 20th century and since then through the years by many, which almost brought me back from where I began, many choices and uncertainty, but I a made a valuable discovery, which many may enjoy!
The International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International...Library_ProjectA Question, would anyone know which version of this concerto would most likely be played on the radio? I thought if someone was into classical music that they may have heard this piece recently and knew who was being promoted?
Thanks
