Violin Concerto in A minor, Op.
54 was written by Danish composer Knudåge Riisager in 1950–1951 for violinist Wandy Tworek [da], to whom it is dedicated.
Tworek gave its first performance with conductor Nicolai Malko at a Thursday Concert on 11 October 1951.
[1] There is a second, revised, version of the concerto, which was performed for the first time by Kai Laursen [ru] at Gothenburg.
The concerto has only two movements, a calm, meditative Tranquillo and a brilliant Vivo, the latter being in the sonata form.
