The Tchaikovsky bibliography, although now fairly extensive, has not previously been particularly sensitive or perceptive as to the quintessential qualities and characteristics which lie at the heart of his music. This is partly the fault of the faithful Modest, whose three-volume biography of his older brother (1900-2) sensationalises much of his life and personality, suppresses information crucial to a real understanding of the man, and is not always reliable in its purely musical judgment.

Auer, however, refused to perform it, and the premiere was given by Adolph Brodsky in 1881 to mixed reviews. The piece, which Tchaikovsky later rededicated to Brodsky, has since become a staple of the violin repertoire. The concerto has three movements, is scored for solo violin and orchestra, and typically runs for a
