Violin Concerto No. 2 in D major
piano reduction
In Młynarskis three-movement composition, we would be hard-pressed to hear even Tchaikovsky, much less Strauss. If anything, rather Brahms (the primary theme of the first movement could suggest certain associations with the Violin Concerto written in the same key of D major by the creator of the German Requiem), and - almost certainly - Edward Elgar. This rather shocking parallel with the English author of the Polonia Overture turns out to be understandable if we keep in mind that Młynarski, as the head of the Scottish Choral and Orchestral Union in Glasgow during the seasons from 1910-1916, must have performed many works of this at the time most distinguished British composer. Most Elgarish will be the gorgeous, expansive theme of the finale, which in a broad arc leads to a moving culmination. The heart of the Concerto No. 2 remains, however, the slow movement Quasi Notturno in the key of B flat major. This nocturne develops from a simple motif in seconds or, as it were, divided thirds, by a chamber-sized string quintet, and could suggest associations with the Lebewohl or postal motif sounded at the beginning of Beethovens Sonata Les Adieux. The most beautiful passage of this inspired movement will be the culmination, derived from the passage in which the soloist colors the beautiful cantilena with harmonics which blend into the almost Impressionist background of the orchestra.
