Some well known concerto's are recorded like Rieding Op.35 but a lot other concertino's have never been recorded. We decided to record all Concertino's for the 1st position as amateur violinist and amateur pianist. On my YouTube channel I made read along video's to show the score. We are not professional musicians so there is a big chance you have more talent and can play it much better than me soon. I am looking forward to your version of them on Youtube!
It took about 2 years to record all Concertino's for the first position. We still have to do 8 Concertino's for the 1-3th position and 8 for the 1-5 th position and 18 for 1-7th position the next 3? years. Here's a playlist of the 1th position of IMSLP-concertino's. A very well-known often played piece is Rieding op.35, but there is much more!
These are the 5 student concertino's in the 1st position I like most personally:
But perhaps you made another choice after listening to the 1st position playlist ;). Also… check out this overview with student concertos!

Have fun on the violin and post a comment below with your favorite concertino!
A big thank you to guest author Henri Vieuxtemps for writing this article and for his beautiful work of 'collecting violin concerto's' in general.
