One of my favorite songs	Brahms: Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77 This work not only allows you to fully experience the virtuosity of the solo violin, with its dramatic energy and technically brilliant passages, but also boasts symphonic-like orchestration, despite being a concerto. At the beginning of the second movement, the oboe plays a large solo theme before the solo violin, which is extremely rare. This puts a great deal of pressure on the oboist, but at the same time, the joy of being able to create such beautiful melodies and harmonies is even greater. The world and story contained in this piece condense the charm of Brahms' works.
