2 in D Minor "in the Hungarian Manner", Op.11 is a Romantic violin concerto written by violinist Joseph Joachim (1831–1907).
This is a very long work (with a playing time over 45 minutes) and thus is a very difficult piece for the soloist.
Practicing it has been likened by the violinist Rachel Barton Pine to "training to run a marathon".
11 was written in the summer of 1857, given its premiere on 24 March 1860 in Hanover, and published by Breitkopf and Härtel in 1861.
