Wieniawski Romanza from Second Concerto Opus 22 (Viola World)
Lyrical and deeply expressive, Henryk Wieniawski’s Romanza from his Violin Concerto No. 2 in D Minor, Op. 22 reveals the gentler side of a composer renowned for virtuoso brilliance. Published by Viola World in this edition for viola, the famous second movement translates beautifully to the instrument’s warm, resonant voice, with its flowing melodies providing ample opportunity for expressive and refined playing.
Rather than focusing on technical display, the Romanza calls for sustained tone, smooth bowing, secure intonation, expressive vibrato, and carefully shaped phrases. Its Romantic character makes it rewarding repertoire for violists developing musical maturity and lyrical playing, and an attractive choice for lessons, examinations, recitals, and concert programmes.
