The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 was the only concerto for violin composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Composed in 1878, it is one of the best-known violin concertos.
The concerto was composed in Clarens, Switzerland, where Tchaikovsky was recovering from the fallout of his ill-fated marriage. The concerto was influenced by Édouard Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole and was composed with the help of Tchaikovsky’s pupil and probable former lover, Iosif Kotek. Despite Tchaikovsky’s original intention to dedicate the work to Kotek, he instead dedicated it to Leopold Auer due to societal pressures. Auer, however, refused to perform it, and the premiere was given by Adolph Brodsky in 1881 to mixed reviews. The piece, which Tchaikovsky later rededicated to Brodsky, has since become a staple of the violin repertoire. The concerto has three movements, is scored for solo violin and orchestra, and typically runs for about 35 minutes.

Bruto Diodato “Uto“ Ughi (born 21 January 1944) is an Italian violinist and conductor. He was the music director of the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia between 1987 and 1992. He is considered one of Italy’s greatest living violinists and is also active in the promotion of classical music in today’s culture.
He started to play the violin when he was around five years old, and he made his debut two years later at the Teatro Lirico di Milano. At the age of twelve he was already considered a mature artist.
On September 4, 1997, he was commissioned Cavaliere della Gran Croce by the Italian President and in 2002 he received a degree honoris causa in Communication studies. He has won various awards, the most prestigious “Una vita per la musica - Leonard Bernstein“ (1997), “Galileo 2000“ prize (2003) and the international prize “Ostia Mare“ (2003).
Ughi has possessed the following fine instruments: the Van Houten-Kreutzer (1701) and Sinsheimer-General Kyd-Perlman (1714) by Antonio Stradivari; and the Kortschak-Wurlitzer (1739), Ole Bull (1744) and Cariplo-Hennel-Rosé (1744) by Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù.
He received the America Award of the Italy-USA Foundation in 2015.
