Memorizing Mozart

As I've mentioned before, I have been playing violin since I was six years old - going on eleven years of taking lessons. Playing my violin is one of my favorite things to do. Granted, some days I don't want to pick it up and practice my scales and techniques. However, I absolutely love classical music and I love the emotion involved in playing this instrument.


Last year, among other repertoire, I memorized the first and second movements of Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 in G Major. Now I'm working on memorizing the third movement before school starts in the beginning of September. The third movement is my favorite of all three! It is so invigorating! :)


I found a youtube recording that has all three movements. If you are working on a project or something at home and you enjoy listening to classical violin music, I encourage you to listen to this concerto.

- Itzhak Perlman
- Joshua Bell 
- Hilary Hahn 
- Lindsey Stirling
