Another method is my understanding of the pieces, playing it and trying to make the best performance. I found that there are only two characteristics that didn’t change and are used in the same way in both concertos. On the other hand there are a lot of characteristics that are developed. The situation and the influences of the composers and the developed instruments made possible an evolution of the violin concertos. After this work I understand better the concertos and I can observe the evolution. I know more about the characteristics and have a better understanding about the styles and the way to play them. A deeper knowledge about the pieces will help me to make better interpretations. (Less)
