The D minor partita
Some songs that a prodigy should play on the violin include Chaconne and No. 1 Andante. These are all intricate pieces that any expert would enjoy performing.
Well... Bach's 6 sonatas and partitas for solo violin sums up a lot of what the violin can do in terms of counterpoint. Hardest would be chaconne of the first partita.Paganini's 24 caprices; all of them very very very hard. They're the last of the "studies" that you would attempt (unless you were very good) and show what the violin can do in terms of technique; eg. Ricochet, sautille, spicatto, trills, tremelos, fingered octaves, tenths, large string crossings, very high positions, fast scales and arpeggios...The four greatest violin concertos:Max Bruch, G minorBeethoven (of course)BrahmsMendelssohn E minor :)I'm sure there are lots more of important violin works but I can't just think of any right now.
Now this is a difficult question! Physically, I'd have to vote that the Chaconne in D minor from Bach's second partita for solo violin is more difficult on violin. It involves many chords which span four or five positions, requiring the player of a modern violin to deal with how to present each note of the chord with the bow as well as the difficulty of fingering them. Certainly the guitar wins here, because the player has all the fingers of the right hand to apply to striking all the notes of the chord at the same time. Both instruments therefore have to deal with sustain: for the violin, some of the notes of each chord (and therefore important parts of the polyphony which must be carried forward) cannot be sustained if the bow cannot be applied to all strings at once. On the guitar, however, getting a chord to sustain over long periods of time requires the player to have developed a very good technique, and carrying the polyphony can be even more problematic. Many professional players and teachers of the guitar have (irrationally, to my thoughts) declared the guitar as not being capable of polyphony in the first place! So, certainly, in both cases, the player has to have spent time becoming the master of their instrument before confronting the piece. After that, the difficulties lie mostly in understanding the piece and getting the instrument to carry one's interpretation to the listener. It is worth noting, for historical completeness, that Bach created versions of movements from the Partitas for the lute, which is in some ways like the guitar. Usually, he rewrote the pieces, rather than carrying them note-for-note. Likewise, within the historical period, written chords like the chaconne provides were arpeggiated (even on violin) in order to carry the polyphonic voices and fill the sustain-weak area between chords. I have not yet heard anyone, lute, guitar or violin, apply this technique to the chaconne, though!
depending on the piece, it could be a violing movememt or a Violin Concerto. Both could be concidered pieces by violin.
appears at the end of the development section as a transition to the recapitulation
My recommendations would be Vocalise, vitali chaconne, bach chaconne, bach e major violin concerto, tchaikovsky violin concerto, praeludium and allegro, debussy violin and piano sonata, paganini's 24 caprices, any of Bach's partitas, etc. Want more?
The last movement of that Partita is a very famous "ciaccona", or "chaconne".
Chaconne

The violin appears at orchestras.

People MADE the violin. The violin did not just appear in nature.
Specifically for the violin we have: -Six solos (3 Sonatas and 3 Partitas) -Six sonatas for violin and harpsichord -Seven works (Sonatas and suites) for violin and basso continuo -Two concertos for violin, strings and continuo -One concerto for two violins, strings and continuo There are other chamber or orchestral works where violins have a shared soloist role. This list includes spurious or doubtful works which may be not by Bach.

Raoul Pleskow has written: 'Movement for oboe, violin and piano' -- subject(s): Trios (Piano, oboe, violin)
The song was a violin piece by Vivaldi from his Four Seasons Concertos. It was the first movement from "Winter". The song was a violin piece by Vivaldi from his Four Seasons Concertos. It was the first movement from "Winter".
