Assuming it is a violin concerto at all, I see that the list doesn't contain

Barber
Coleridge-Taylor
Corigliano
Finzi
Glass
Glazunov
Joachim
Hubay
Korngold
Lalo
Nielsen
Patterson
Rozsa
Saint-Saens
Ysaye

all of whom wrote violin concertos I haven't heard (possibly one for New Musical Connections - oops - offtopic!). Some of them seem unlikely candidates but let these be my next 15 guesses.

Now, that could be a mistake...  Cheesy

So far, we've established that it's not:

[...]
Paganini Violin Concerto No.2
Paganini Violin Concerto No.3
Paganini Violin Concerto No.4
Paganini Violin Concerto No.5
Paganini Violin Concerto No.6
Paganini Violin Concerto No.7(?)
[...]
Paganini - Polacca con variazione in A
Paganini - Variations on "O mamma, mamma cara"
Paganini - Introduction and variations on "Non pių mesta" from La Cenerentola
Paganini - I palpiti, introduction and variations on "Di tanti palpiti" from Tancredi
[...]

Did not some one say at some point that it is not Paganini full stop? If not then he is still by far the most likely candidate. We note the absence from the list of his First Concerto, which we thought we knew, but we may well be mistaken . . .

I think you'd discounted the 1st concerto in this thread somewhere, Syd (indeed, it's not) and I can reveal it's not by Paganini.

What a wonderful example of how even a full quotient of commas, unaccustomedly employed here by Seņor Grew, do not save one from ambiguity. (For about what may we well be mistaken, the noting of the absence or the thinking of the knowledge?)

I think what was established was that the excerpt is not a violin concerto by Pag a neenee.

I don't believe it (25) is by Schumann (either the Violin Concerto or that other work.... Can't remember what it is).

May we exhort Members to adhere to the proper and appropriate forms of address on this and its associated thread? Terms such as 'Tommo', 'tinners' and God may He help us 'Syd' are to be strictly eschewed. Such terms may may not they be tolerated on other more frivolous areas of this Board; but we must insist that this is a serious and consequential competition in which matters of language and terminology are are not they of the utmost importance.

Oh, and  Kiss to you all.

Looks to me like y'all're the ones who've got your quotae mixed up. Wink

We stand corrected, Lord Martle and beg humble apologies, Member Grew.
