I want to describe Sergey Prokofiev's violin concerto no.2. I'm not only learning this piece but also like it very much. Because its melody is so beatiful and characteristics of art is special. Sergey Prokofiev is Russian and lived in 20 century. So his style is so different than classical or romantic music. He uses dissonant harmomy and original orchestration. I like the second movement specially. It's andante and very lyrical. I feel hopeful and dream of live from music. He uses 2 against 3 in rhythm, melody is in the high pitch that shows violin's sweet and light sound. If player can use better vibrato and dynamic. I think the music is perfect. I feel the music with hopeful and dream is from his innerness. The accompany is pizzicato in other to set off melody.
Now, please listen this piece!

Thank you for sharing the link, Zhong Qian. It's always nice to listen to Heifetz. I think you did a good job of explaining why you like this violin concerto.
