About the book
Felix Mendelssohn wrote his Violin Concerto in E minor for his friend Ferdinand David, the leader of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, who gave the first performance in March 1845. Its three movements run without a break: the violin enters at once over a murmur of strings, the cadenza comes before the recapitulation rather than at the end, a single bassoon note holds over into the Andante, and a short bridge leads to the sparkling finale in E major.
This is Émile Sauret's edition (Augener), with all of its fingerings and bowings: ⊓ is a down-bow and V an up-bow, a circle the harmonic, I to IV the string. On a violin at the printed key the app shows the edition's fingerings; in another key, or on another instrument, it leaves them off.
