Wieniawski: Second Polonaise Brillante Cw Vol. 4A Op. 21 (Orkest en Viool)

The Polonaise in A major was completed in 1870. We do not know exactly which version with piano or with orchestra was the earlier. The composer first performed the work with orchestra, on 17 March 1870., at the Grand Theatre in St Petersburg. This works virtuosity is delicate, closer to the style brilliant. The Polonaise in A major, alongside the two concertos, is one of Wieniawskis most important concert works.
