Okay, you other violin moms out there. Little Son has been assigned a new concerto. For those of you who know, he will be learning the Accolay Concerto in the coming months. He is very excited about it, especially after watching others play the piece on Youtube. The concerto is six pages long, and offers a lot of variety in mood, rhythm, and technique, including a final page full of double stops that sounds like a fiddle piece was dropped in as an afterthought. He will also need to play at times in fifth (and maybe even sixth?) position as well.
Anyhow, after some poking around online, I found a recording of Itzhak Perlm*n playing this piece. Since the file is free, it only contains the first half of the concerto, but hey, you get the idea. Please click on the link to hear it.
Accolay Concerto No. 1 in A Minor
It will be rather thrilling when Little Son has got it together and plays it for us. He is definitely motivated!

It's a lovely piece, how exciting for your son! It's available on a CD of Perlman's, Concertos from my Childhood - I see it's downloadable from Amazon in the States. We're a Suzuki family too, and have this CD. Some of my daughter's favourite YouTube videos are of Perlman's playing, and also his duetting with Pinchas Zukerman.
I don't know anything about music training, but I do know that it's good for children to have goals! Good for your son!
