Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major, K. 219, also known as the “Turkish” concerto, is among the most sophisticated works of its era. Composed in 1775 when Mozart was just 19 years old, this concerto is distinguished by its lyrical elegance and technical finesse. In the first movement, Allegro aperto, Mozart combines a clear structural form with rich melodic lines, showcasing the solo violin prominently. The cadenzas in this movement are bold, displaying Mozart’s creative genius in compositional freedom.
