Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a German composer and pianist. He is one of the most revered figures in the history of Western music; his works rank among the most performed of the classical music repertoire and span the transition from the Classical period to the Romantic era in classical music.
The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61, was written in 1806. Its first performance was unsuccessful and for some decades the work languished in obscurity, until revived in 1844 by the then 12-year-old violinist Joseph Joachim with the orchestra of the London Philharmonic Society conducted by Felix Mendelssohn. Joachim would later claim it to be the "greatest" German violin concerto. Since then it has become one of the best-known and regularly performed violin concertos.
The Romance for violin and orchestra Op. 40 was written around 1801, after the second Romance, Op. 50, and was published in 1803, two years before the publication of the second. Thus, the Romance Op. 40 was designated as Beethoven's first.
The Violin Concerto WoO 5 dates from between 1790 and 1792. Only a 259-bar fragment of the first movement in Beethoven's handwriting survives, and is kept in the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. There is extensive debate about whether this fragment represents a part of a finished movement (or indeed an entire concerto), the rest of which has subsequently been lost, or whether the movement was never completed.
