Camille Saint-Saëns' Violin Concerto No. 3 in B minor, Op. 61, composed in 1880, is a three-movement work for violin and orchestra. It is known for its sophisticated structure, the soloist's virtuosity, and a melodic second movement featuring a dialogue between the soloist and woodwinds, which concludes in a serene atmosphere before being dramatically interrupted by the third movement.
