Beriot Vln Concert No9 Vln&Pno BA

The Belgian Charles Auguste de Briot (1802-1870) was not only a violinist but also a teacher and composer.

Briot composed a number of concertos. His Concerto No.9 in A minor, published in 1859, is a favourite with more advanced students. Julia Fischer played it with verve at the early age of eight. The piece stands out with seemingly virtuosic short passages, varied rhythms and a slight Hungarian touch.
