Violin Concerto (Klami)

32, is a three-movement concertante composition for violin and orchestra written from 1940 to 1943 by the Finnish composer Uuno Klami.

[1] However, in 1944, the autograph manuscript was lost when Ignatius played the concerto in Stockholm.

[2] Klami rewrote the piece from 1953 to 1954: this new version he based on the old, albeit with substantial alterations to each of the three movements.

[1][2] On 9 April 1954, Ignatius, Haapanen, and the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra premiered the revised concerto.

[1] Although the original score was eventually found in the archives of the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation in 1957, the 1954 version had already by then become established in the repertoire.
